Hello I don't know very much about the saas system, could you please tell me if a HR software made in windev could easily be deployed as a saas ? The problem is that it would cost a lot to deploy it, because each time a client is connected at the same time, it costs 150 euros (under windows licence). Could you please tell me more about the remote app ? And another problem is that when a client would like to print something, it opens a widows window which permits access to the network, and it is not secured. Is the only possibility to make all the windev software as a web software ? Thanks !
If you don't want to buy Windows licences for each computer, you can :
Generate a java application and run it on Linux, with some limitations
Transform you application in a web app and run it on a web server, with some limitation and some more code
Install your application on a Windows remote server and connect to it with Remote Desktop (a Windows application), but you need licences for connecting you to the server
For me, the printing problem is not a security breach.

If I have two versions of a Windows application, one version having additional security features, and I want my customer to use the more secure version if they're going to deploy it to a cloud-based Citrix server, is there a way to have the less secure version refuse to run under Citrix? Can it detect Citrix?
I have bought a VDS (Virtual Dedicated Server) that Windows Server 2008 is installed on it. I needed to use server because I have developed a C# console application that can read data by TCP socket and write them in the MySQL database.
Now I need to start a website on this server. I think WAMP server is so easy for me.
Maybe in future a lot of people visit my website.
Is it a good idea to use WAMP server as a web server?
In principal there is nothing wrong with using WAMPServer as a LIVE webserver.
However, not the out of the box version.
Out of the box WAMPServer and XAMPP for that matter expect to be used as a single seat developer tool and while that is great for a click and go solution to get a developer up and running on Apache/MySQL and PHP in a few minutes it is not secure enough to be considered as a LIVE web facing webserver.
Now if you have the knowledge and experience to create an user account on Windows Server that has access to only what Apache needs to do its work, and can get Apache to run in that account instead of its default account (which has way to many privilages for a live server) and are prepared to explore all the Apache security features/modules that would be required for a web facing server then it is possible. However this is not a trivial task, and any mistakes or ommissions will leave your server open to the simplest of hacks.
In short, unless you really know what you are doing with Windows Server and Apache, you would be far better to pay for a professionally configured and managed web server environment.
Im interested in doing some development from my iPad, and one idea I had would be to code from the safari browser. Does anyone know of a way to set up eclipse on a cloud-based server, so that it can be accessed from a browser?
I believe, you will need the following parts to make it work
The cloud server must be based on one of the supported Eclipse Target Environments.
The cloud server provider must support UI based on some sort of remote desktop - e.g. VNC. Be aware that many cloud providers does not allow UI.
iPad must support the same remote desktop technology. There seem to be many VNC implementations for iPad...
I guess the difficult part is to find a cloud server to use. Though you, as an alternative, could use any PC with an VNC server where you have Internet access...
Can winform C# applications run from citrix?
If the application is kept on Citrix server, can it be viewed in windows OS machines?
Will the same be viewable via iPad?

The only real issue I've seen with home-grown .Net apps on Citrix is the occasional problem with code access security.
Yes to all of your questions.
Winform applications can be written in C# and run on Citrix
Once you publish the application it can be run on windows OS via the Citrix client. It will appear that the app is running locally.
Right now there is a client for the iPad available in the app store. Using this you should be able to connect to your apps via Citrix
I don't see why it wouldn't run on Citrix. If the corresponding framework is installed on the Citrix servers, it will run on it.
I don't know about iPad, since I believe it has to be from the App Store, but maybe.
Of course yes to all of your questions, Citrix is only an environment.
Currently we run our web applications on a thin client browser IE 6 and it is slow.
We are a non-profit organization. All our offices are linked via VPN.
Opera 10 browser allows one to convert one's PC into a server.
I am thinking of deploying our application and Opera 10 on every client, meaning that the every client would run a server which in turn would run our application.
Therefore, the clients would connect only to our database. This would speed things up.
However, I would need to deploy updates to our application from time to time.
How can I deploy a web application to the clients PC's remotely?
Our app is .Net.
You might want to take a look at click-once deployment which can handle auto-updating applications (I believe however, they should be .Net based)
