Workshop -Creating Dynamic Database-Driven Sites with Dreamweaver (Room 616)
Prerequisite: Proficient in Dreamweaver

Workshop Home Page

I will demonstrate the fundamentals of creating a web site that saves, updates, and displays information from an Access database using Microsoft's Active Server Page (ASP) technology. All this can be done using the database connectivity tools built into Dreamweaver CS3 or 8. Although the emphasis will be on ASP, the concepts and principles apply equally well to PHP and other server application techniques. I will also be glad to briefly show the core set of skills using PHP.
