Good day, everyone!
I have a architectural question, what tools can I use when will develop and deploy a think client for ONE DESKTOP computer? My application must work in browser on one computer, DB must placed on same computer. If it possible, no application server (IIS, Apache, Node.js).
To make desktop application from HTML application, you'll need JS libraries that can call native OS API, something like node-ffi, node-webkit or appjs[3], that allows use native API, but they all work under node.js framework. Or you can try use browser API for access to OS functions, Firefox[4] and Chrome[5].
If you need to develop simple web application, try use HTML pages + JS + CSS + WebSQL or localStorage.
Here[6] you can learn more about HTML5.
