I will try to make small application for POS with MySQL in background. What
is best to use for client part? For the first time everything is on just
one MACMini.

1.    Apache+PHP, and web access
2.    Cocoa application connected on MySQL (from what books I can learn how to
connect Objective-c on MySQL?)
3.    RealBASIC app.
4.    Something other?

Thanks!!!
Damir

php syntax is a pain in the behind
but mysql 4 and 5 interfaces are built in for macs
and you can get an initial site up and running within a day

given the overhead for networking
you usually will not gain alot speed with c

Also consider Ruby on Rails for this sort of thing. All the benefits
(rapid development, web based) of php but with a nicer language, helpful
framework with testing built in.

Cheers, Robert.
