# Get data from user CDF

I am just starting with mathematica and need to sift through the things which I need for my project. I plan on developing an application that gets electrical system parameters like R,C,phase differences etc and through the use of standard formulas and the plotting utility of mathematica generate graphs for the same.

I get that there are plot functions to do that but my doubts are(being a newbie):

1. How do I deploy the application as a .exe. If I were working in Java I would have wanted something like:

TextBox b=new TextBox(); b.getInput(); expr.fill(new resistance value); evaluate(expr); plot(expr);

and then compile it and it would show me a nice GUI and inputbox and a graph by the side changing depending on the inputbox.

2.I have seen CDF and in case I do a webapp for the same the manipulation limits are filled in the source code,but I can't find anything that tell how to get those limits in an input box.

Like say I want to plot a resonance curve and I want user to input R in the emebedded CDF in the webpage.How do I do it?

Some GUI development tutorials with focus on plotting will help me a lot.

Sorry if the question is not framed right,mathematica is still bit of a mystery to me.

Mathematica is not a compiling language therefore you can't create executable binaries. The way to share computable, interactive content is to use the CDF format. – István Zachar Nov 3 '12 at 8:21
