</div>Dabo might be a good solution if you are making GUI client-side apps.<br>
Note that the OP mentioned using Javascript, so I'm assuming that the<br>
OP is thinking about a web-based front end. It really depends on the<br>
number of users and other factors. If there are many users, then a<br>
web-based front end is possibly better in that each user does not have<br>
to install software to use the application.(Only the browser is<br>
required) Having each user install software can become a maintenance<br>
nightmare if not implemented properly. Having the entire application<br>
on a server allows you to make changes without having to deploy it to<br>
many users. On client-side GUI apps, it'd be good to develop something<br>
that checks if a new version of the software is necessary to download.<br>
<br>
Oh well, I think I've babbled on enough about client side apps vs<br>
web-based server side apps. I guess you get the idea.<br>
