Hello Everybody,

First of all, let me say a huge "thank you" to everybody behind Fantom. I have yet to use it but have spent the last 3 days just reading as much as I could on the site and I am really excited to begin using it.

My question: I have a personal desktop computer, and the Internet comes from my mobile phone which I use as a modem (USB). It's very fast, 1.1MB/s. (I don't know if that matters but...)

So taking into account that I have that type of internet connection and computer, are there any server apps that you would suggest I use?

I have used Aprelium before, and that was pretty alright...

Thank you! links

welcome to Fantom!

I am not sure I completely understand the question. But if you want to play around with Fantom to write web server applications you can play around with some of the web and javascript demos.

Thank you brian. :)

I am looking at the Wisp script now. Would I be correct in thinking that I can beuild web pages with Fantom and position elements (textbox, text, images etc) on the pages with Fantom?

you can use Weblets to generate HTML code (however you want)

or you can use Fantom's JavaScript to build client side apps using FWT (see demo/js)

the only examples that work are the fwt ones that display windows.

FWT also runs in the browser. To run them, start the demo wisp server:

C:\fantom\examples\js>demo
[16:43:42 28-Jul-10] [info] [web] WispService started on port 8080

Then just point your browser to http://localhost:8080 and you be able to access them. You will need a modern browser for the full effect (Chrome, Firefox 3.5+)

Cool. Most of them aren't too impressive, but the graphics demo looking pretty much the same way the desktop demo does, is a nice example. Guess I may included that in Eclipse demos.
