Hello all,
I was amazed when I recently first saw the capabilities of Paraview Web. I decided I’ll do my best to develop some web-based applications that improve visualization/data processing workflows at my company.
However, after struggling a little bit to compile/install ParaView Web with NodeJS, I decided to take a step back and learn a bit more of the basics of web development before jumping into such complex code.
I have 10+ years experience developing scientific software for desktops and clusters, but never programmed a single website or web application in my life.
In your opinion, what sort of languages/frameworks/technologies should I study in order to be able to program with Paraview Web? E.g. Javascript, CSS, HTML, Node?
Sorry for the rather newbie question, but I hope the answer helps other programmers like me; with little to no web experience.
Best regards,
Rafael March.

You should start by [downloading the ParaView binary](https://www.paraview.org/download/) for your system as it provides all the part that are required on the server side for building a ParaViewWeb based server.
Then you should look at that [simple example](https://github.com/Kitware/web-project-templates/tree/master/vue-vtkjs-pvw-template) on how to build a ParaViewWeb based client application using Vue.js.
Once you managed to create and run your application locally, for real deployment, you should use our [docker image](http://kitware.github.io/paraviewweb/docs/docker_cheatsheet.html) that will let you expose your application as a service either in the cloud or inside your company infrastructure.
Regarding your web newbie question, I would start with the following framework as it provide quick and somewhat easy and full feature framework for creating web application.
- Modern Javascript (A quick google search lead me to [this](https://javascript.info/) but any background will be good)
- [https://vuejs.org/](https://vuejs.org/)
- [https://vuetifyjs.com/en/](https://vuetifyjs.com/en/)
HTH,
Seb

Thanks Sebastien,
I have been studying the suggested languages/frameworks, your reply has been really helpful.
If I manage to use the provided link (simple example) as a starting point, I understand I wouldn’t be doing remote rendering, correct? Would you have a guideline/page to follow to include remote rendering? I will be dealing with large datasets, I don’t think rendering on the web client is a viable option.
Many thanks and have a great end of year.
Rafael.

Actually the sample given is doing remote rendering.
