[Seqan-dev] Building a web app based on SeqAn c++ code

[Paul Darbyshire <pmdarbyshire2003@yahoo.co.uk>]

Dear SeqAn members,

I want to integrate some of the SeqAn C++ code examples I have built working on the tutorials and wondered if anybody had any ideas how to build a web application based on these? I would like to use HTML5 etc. but not sure how I would get the C++ files to integrate with the web pages i.e. automatically run a certain algorithm when a button is pressed etc. Basically, the idea would be to have a web based UI with the C++ code running in the background when requested for a particular task.

I have used ASP.NET before but not sure this would be the best platform since it is C# based and would be troublesome integrating the C++ programs I expect? Also, this limits me to a windows environment which is not a problem but something to bear in mind.

Any help or examples appreciated!

Thanks

Paul
