Hi experts,

I am working on a bar-code scanner app written in .NETCF3.5 on it's client side and Delphi 2010 on it's server side.
The server side is an Apache shared module written in Delphi, and it is talking to our database end to perform CRUD operations over a wireless network.  So, each operation on client, immediately and over the wireless network talks to the server (using SOAP) which then talks to our database (IBM DB2).

I would like to start implementing mORMot and replacing Apache server for this application, so my idea is to rewrite server to use mORMot and REST/JSON rather than Apache and SOAP. 

I have downloaded and I am in the process of reading the documentation, too.  But there is lots of it and I would rather work and read in parallel.

Who can provide me some starting points? 
Where and how to start?
How to install mORMot?
What are the keywords to search in documentation?
What are the objects I should use on server to talk to my DB2 database?

Much appreciated,
_db_

Hi ab,
Thank you so much for your reply. 

I have another question if you dont mind.  Would you mind recommending me (as a complete novice) where to start?
I am reading the documentation and it is lots of info.  I am going to read it but would you mind giving me keywords to look in documentation to implement marmot and replace use of Apache in my application that I described above.

Much appreciated.

Hi,
I am currently working on a bar-code scanning application written in Windows Mobile 5.0 (.NETCF 3.5) as a client and an Apache Shared Object module written in Delphi as a server component.
We use Apache server to host this Apache module to talk to our database.  Each operation on handheld side can read or update database immediately over the wireless network and there might be many devices talking to database at any time.

What would be pros and cons of using MORMOT instead of Apache Server?  Please elaborate why and if possible.
Much appreciated,
d
