It is given: The site is working in the local network, in PHP + MySQL, the user (editor) makes tasks for other users, who can see all this on the network, through the website.
But I would like to improve this business and write something like an agent-annunciator for new entries for the user.
I think to take Delphi (outline the application) and them, from each user, to cling to the database and notify.
I understand correctly? (Before or when never wrote a bunch of web-application + win application).
Or reinvent the wheel and there is, say, something at the level of API-applications?
