Hi! I am new to web applications in BCB. I wish to do a web application where I am aiming to access a server from clients via a browser. i.e I wish to control some hardware connected to the parallel port of a server from any computer on the internet. e.g When I click some button(available on a browser) from a client, then the server should output some word through the parallel port.
Would someone give me the best options of achieving this.
Regards.
