IrisWebClient Works

IrisWebClient seems a quietly impressive project: a modern, browser-based GUI built with Delphi and uniGUI that demonstrates how desktop-class development can inhabit the web without losing its soul.
The repository shows real craftsmanship, not a toy example, but a practical, end-to-end application wired to InterSystems IRIS through ODBC and FireDAC, featuring full CRUD operations, referential relationships, and even filtering through implicit JOINs on nested properties.
What stands out most is the clarity of intention: it teaches architecture by example. You see multiplatform deployment (Windows services, Linux executables, ISAPI), a zero-installation browser client, and a data model that behaves like a living object graph rather than flat tables.
The project becomes more than a demo it’s a bridge between classical RAD philosophy and modern web application patterns, showing that Delphi can still produce rich, structured, maintainable web software with elegance.

Fully aligned with the contest brief — clean, direct implementation of CRUD operations over IRIS via ODBC, delivered as a modern web application.

Exceptionally compact CRUD layer — almost no-code, demonstrating a clear and elegant architecture.

Reliable Docker support — builds and runs smoothly, enabling frictionless evaluation and deployment.

Rich Web GUI built with Delphi/uniGUI — true RAD development producing a competitive, desktop‑grade web interface.

High‑quality, concise codebase — easy to read, easy to maintain, and structured for long‑term evolution.

Cross‑platform deployment Windows/Linux — runs on Linux as well, giving the project strong future potential and operational flexibility.

Clear ODBC installation documentation — a practical advantage that lowers setup time for reviewers and real users.

Instant demo experience — works immediately out of the box; the desktop‑style application running inside a browser is a compelling demonstration of IRIS distribution and delivery capabilities.

IrisWebClient is a well-designed and thoughtfully structured web application for InterSystems IRIS. The codebase feels clean and focused, with clear separation of concerns and a practical architecture that makes it easy to understand and extend. I especially appreciate how it demonstrates working with relational data, reference fields, and filtering in a real-world scenario. A solid example project that is both educational and production-minded.

• This is a special case
• pure DELPHI is deeply bound to Windows with low affinity to Linux
• but here it is running also in a Docker container
• The image is ready to use as download
• I'm personally impressed that this was possible
• Works perfectly as in the previous demo.
