Should I use SpiderBasic

[hotcore]

Should I choose SpiderBasic (having used PureBasic a long time)?

Pro's:
1. familiar /easy syntax
2. low price
3. very cross platform (GUI)

But:
- question 1: can I use a client side and / or a server side database?
- question 2: can the generated javascript be obfuscated?

TIA,
Arie

Regardless of my questions I already bought SB because it is very nice.

Still curious about my questions

You can use a server side database only via a server side script/api. This is pretty much true of all client side technologies as far as I know

Currently SB does not support WebSQL or LocalStorage etc directly, but you can drop into JavaScript to do that. Also another user here I think wrote a module that encapsulated local storage, "XJS" or something like that?

The JS is already pretty obfuscated IMO, but you would need to pass it through another tool - SB does not do this out of the box. I have no idea what the process would be though I believe that again somebody has already done this (Windows platform I think) - best bet is to search the forums

Anyway - glad you chose to buy SpiderBasic - I am sure you will love using it. I'm very much looking forward to what Fred reveals to be in the next release (no idea of timescales alas, Fred is very enigmatic that way )

Hi,
thx for your answer.
But I guess I *can* write using functions like WriteByte and WriteCharacter etc.
Then again I miss a requester for saving files.
Best regards,
