I have done the same kind of transition using :--

On server, 'Web2py' web framework + 'DABO'

I have used dabo for taking care of database related stuff.

Web2py for other server side tasks such as web-server (btw, it has built-in

web server), controller functions, handling requests & responses, etc.

On client side, of course, no installation is needed; just a compatible web

browser.

Now coming to the task of holding data in cursor-like object at client

side...

My setup is like this--

>From dabo's bizobj, convert data into json format, dispatch it to the

client, At client side, in the browser, there is .data property for html

elements like <div>. This can be used to hold data. This object is mutable.

After making changes to this data, the same object can be sent to the

bizobj at server and persist the data on disk.

If you need a code snippet, I can share it.

I?d like a scripting language and python looks a good one, but need more

I have not done speed tests, but python is great in speed.

dabo gives mostly all that functionality available in vfp.

And reports of course.

I use html for reports.
