Hi everyone I worked with version 14-18 of windev but never decided to create any commercial apps. Now I’m considering windev23 for a project.
Ive avoided desktop software and stuck to delivering web apps. ( I avoided webdev and chose a different web development tool).
Web apps have No client install issues and upgrades are easy. However I often look at windev when the new version is being released and feel jealous at all the very cool controls. The look of the apps are very cool.
Now windev 23 is here and I’m considering should I create a windows desktop app for a project and not use my web app go to solution. But this forum highlights issues. I don’t want to be dealing with tracking down client support issues all the time. Am I worrying about nothing?
Is it worth doing small one off projects with just a few (20) users?
Or Has windows 10 , virus software and malware threats made maintaining small projects just too time consuming. Plus you now need to know more about tracking down problems on client pc’s
I read this forum and the posts of the many problems that can occur, and get scared of windows 10 upgrades , and antivirus software interference with apps. And of course updating an app to a new version.
Could I please have honest answer to my worries please.
Is creating software for the desktop with windev a good idea in today’s world? Or should I stick to creating web apps for small project business clients.
