Hi
I am only just starting to investigate Python to see if it is a language that will do what I need it to do.
I currently have a quiz app built around a Microsoft Excel form using Visual Basic – VBA Macros.
I want to get the app working on the web. There is no way to do this with Excel, so it is going to have to be converted to a different language that will run on the web. Rather than a total rewrite, I would obviously prefer to use some form of conversion/translation to at least do some of the work of converting the vba code.
I believe there are vba to python conversion tools. So I assume they would do much of the work of converting the current visual basic macros. In principle, I would have thought that would reduce the work to then manually programming the connections to python forms and graphs, to replace the connections to Excel forms and graphs.
If this makes any sense, does anyone have any knowledge or experience as to whether these assumptions are correct?
Thanks
Ian.
