I have never written a gui based app for Windows or Macs and since the
application would have to be cross platform compatable it would have to
run on Windows, Macs as well as Linux and other Unix variants. That is
too much work for me to do by myself. About the only alternative would
be to write the Client in Java {Not that MS cruft, but real Sun Java} then
anything woth a Java VM would work. I could then write the server in
what ever I wanted {probably C}.
This is way off the topic, though. The question was about PHP and JSP not
gtk client/server application efficiencies.
