OT: PWA and/or MS Power Apps

[Mike Dawson]

Jose,

Checkout “flutter & dart”.  I think flutter is worth the learning curve and a better alternative to MS products in the cloud (MS power apps).  I hate being locked in to proprietary subscription services focused only on MSsql and share point.
As you already know, the browser building blocks are always html, css, JavaScript toolsets regardless of the vertical.  PWAs are not new….see “Cordova” which targeted the mobile screen initially.  “Node” running server side (compiled JavaScript).  
Bottom line, the generic JavaScript coder, regardless of the toolset or IDE used, will typically be the intelligence behind the client browser app in todays brave new world of APIs, Ajax DB interfaces, and UIs.  I’m always looking to improve my development style, and always seem to come back to making sure I focus on the same building blocks in my tool box, and keeping them object oriented.  The seamless  transition to mobile screen deployment makes understanding CSS, html5 all that more important.  I’m still looking for the right RAD to accomplish that expansion.
