Building a traditional webpage with LabVIEW webservices?

[1984]

Hi community,

I'd like to create a web based where I can display various information about our current items in stock. eg: quantities, part numbers, lead time etc etc. The users will be able to apply various filters, can sort the data and there must be an admin interface as well where you can add / remove new items. Multiple users will browse the page at the same time, their sessions should not interfere with each other.

As far as I see this is pretty much what we have in the "Address Book" example shipped with labview. But I dont have experience in building web applications so I would need some sort of a step by step tutorial about how to build such application and why the application is built as is.

All the resources I found related to web published front panels, but thats NOT what I need. Practically I am considering building a webpage w/ completly traditional functions in labview, instead of HTML + PHP + SQL.

Does it make sense?

thanks!

I'd suggest a RESTful API http://chrislarson.me/blog/labview-web-services-restful-crud

With some JavaScript and HTML you can do exactly what you describe.

Hey Chris,

Great tutorials. I am struggling to understand the address book example, although I made a good progress today. 

thanks!
