I am a lurker on several Firebird lists, I develop applications for small
companies using Delphi and Firebird. Using both FIBPlus and IBOjects. I
still have some older applications out there using the BDE.

A project has come up that requires a thin client. I believe Firebird will
be the right database for this application. My question is what tools and
development environments are some of you using to develop web based
applications? What are some of the gotchas?

Some specs:

1) Clients will probably be on WinXP.
2) A total of about 100 users.
3) The client wants to deliver the application to its users as a thin client
(using any of the more popular browsers).
4) Application development and maintenance will have to be done remotely.
One of the developers will be in Australia and the others here in the
Caribbean.
5) Not sure where the application will be hosted at the moment.
6) We the developers don't care about the application development platform
(Windows or Linux).
7) Naturally we want reasonable performance at the client end in terms of
data validation and form display speed.
8) All data processing will be via stored procedures on the back end and
cron scripts etc.

Thanks for any input.
