Hi Guys,

I am very new to Mathematica

I would like to build a GUI using Mathematica and eventually integrate the GUI on a webpage. Any advice on how and which platform to code on?

Thanks in advance

I think you’ll need webMathematica

Take a look at CDF examples. Thousands of deployed to the web CDF apps at the Wolfram Demonstration Project.

Thanks Frank and Sam.

If I am to publish on my own server or my university’s server, can I do it with both CDF and webMathematica?

Thanks

Yes to both. And at least with CDF there is a free video course how to do it:

Thanks Sam,

Unfortunately CDF doesnt allow non-integer input from the users. And I have no experience at all in building a webpage.

Will I be able to overcome both the problems on webMathematica?

Thanks

I did not have experience with webMathematica. For arbitrary input fields in CDF see this blog

With respect to your comment - “I have no experience at all in building a webpage” - I think you do expect some knowledge if you wish to “eventually integrate the GUI on a webpage”. Distinguished feature of CDF is that it requires minimal knowledge of web development. The video I linked to is for non-specialists.

On the other hand you may want to wait till Mathematica Online - you can apply for testing there.

how about MathLink? can create a UI on C++ linking to Mathematica via MathLink, that will work on computers without Mathematica? Is that possible?
