I presented a mock-up model using WebDNA as the backenddatabase and Flash as the GUI for the front end. Won the shoot-off with3 other vendors and now I have 3 months to roll-out after I submit thefinal contract for sign-off.Here is one of my question ....Is it really safe for me to use WebDNA(planning to buy another license since the client wants to owneverything on their box)? I have been using WebDNA when it wasWebCatalog and have always remained in the shadows of this talklist(Great bunch of guys n gals here .. I might add). Recently, there hasbeen so much talk of the lack of or no support, the end of the road forWebDNA and numerous negative publicity. It is really getting me worried!I hate to imagine getting myself anchored with my client using WebDNAfor a 3 years contract with roll overs, only to find WebDNA disappearingdown the line. My client have numerous lawyers on their payroll and theyhave nothing better to do so I am told which means ...they will enjoyplucking my feathers if ever the shit hits the fan.The second part of my question ....Is there any similar alternative toWebDNA? I have explored the WWW and so far I find that WebDNA is prettyunique. One software ..all in, can serve all purpose, built in flat fileram database, emailer and easy to use. Yes, there is CF, AJAX, FilemakerServer, ROR and more but really ...none of them is like WebDNA and yes,I really do love WebDNA.Looking forward to some feedback and many thanks in advance.Terry NairPrism4u LLCPS: Will the original fathers of WebCatalog please consider giving ussomething like WebDNA ...
