Heh - you're LUCKY then, I figure... I "avoided" web-based coding for as LONG as I could, but it was inevitable I collide w/ it, which pretty much goes w/out saying, as the web is SO 'integral' to so many things today... &, I see SO much of it, as opposed to "std. development projects" (for lack of a better expression), that I figured you'd get "roped into one", is all.
On web apps & such? I was first exposed to it around 2004, & I got 'lucky' I figured, because MY way of doing pages, nowadays? Heck - Visual Studio, & ASP.NET! Simple as pie, simpler to do than DCOM since webservices are MUCH easier to create, install, & implement... imo, @ least.

Let me guess - main body of code is powerbuilder, & any libs needed will be C/C++ created, for speed/efficiency, & also to lend your program abilities NOT natively present, in powerbuilder... correct?

LOL, right... "or, you'd have to kill me", I understand. One NICE thing about doing work for medical firms, is that you MAY aid in saving a person's health (or, life) one day, via the tools you create for medical personnel!
(Try to think of it, THAT way, I suppose - pretty cool benny, in & of itself, imo @ least!)
I did some work for Cincinnati Eye Institute, circa 1998-1999, that helps physicians & X-Ray techs edit, magnify for examination, AND notate (they have special characters & such for this) x-ray imagery, & to mail it to colleagues for follow-up + additional inquiries on what may or may not be wrong w/ said patients.
Very cool stuff, that may save someone's eyesight one day, or aid in doing so...

Moohoohwahahaaaa! |
Nice... those are the kind of things that you WANT to put in the hours for, because you LOVE them, & are "into them"... &, imo @ least? They're the ones that make you "strike it rich", building your OWN 'lottery ticket', basically...
* Good luck man, & I hope you make the world's FIRST "sonic disruptor" or something, lol... because I too, am VERY impressed w/ what can be done w/ the puny thin little speakers (imo, much of the tech was 'stolen' from car-audio tech, but I know very VERY little about this admittedly), vs. the "heavier is better" speakers of the 1980's that I used to use & judge them largely by their weights...
