Hello
I'm going to build a website which will offer customers something that I cannot tell for now.
The customers shall enter some parameters on the site. These parameters should be sent to a SAS institute software which is installed on the same server to make some calculations based on the parameters that the users has entered, and be sent back.
What is the name of this kind of programming? Can you give me some general tips about this kind of webapplications?
What is the flow of this kind of webapplications?
Thanks for all types of answers.
Best regards
HuGoB

Re: Webapplication question
I wouldn't say that's a kind or style of programming at all. But it sounds like you are creating a front-end to communicate with a service. The word proxy also comes to mind.What is the name of this kind of programming?
It's generally much easier if there's an agreed specification by which you communicate with the service such as JSON or XML.Can you give me some general tips about this kind of webapplications?
A search for the "Proxy design pattern" may be of interest.What is the flow of this kind of webapplications?
