Client-Server application writing in delphi

Question

What is the best way to write a client-server application under delphi? I know there\'s a DataSnap technology, but it\'s not in Professional version. Do You have any experience

Answer 1

Two options:

• DIY (Do It Yourself). Write a communications layer and protocol yourself using Indy and/or ICS internet components. A lot of hard work and needs a lot of testing to get right.
• Use a ready made framework such as kbmMW: http://components4developers.com/ or RemObjects: http://www.remobjects.com/ Both are not free but well worth the money you pay even if only measured by the development time/costs that you spare.
