MySQL or databases in general .. I used to think would be a bore and useless.. But since I started working wiht them its amazing the amount of options it opens up.. I recently made the accy stan site and its just about all database driven..
For example on the front page is a last game and next game.... when the webmaster goes into a control panel and enters the score for the last match played.. the front page auto updates everyhting based on the info that the last match has been played... finds the next game by date and enters that as the next one.. all the info for that is in the DB
The same info is used for the links on the bottom left... there is no links page.. you click a team and all the data is retrived from the database and displayed on the fly..
www.awads.co.uk another of mine.. all database driven and all controlled from a CP by someone who knows little about html..they just use forms in the CP
All possible through databases.. relational databases blah blah and real easy to learn
Theres a difference betwen a web designer and a programmer.. I cant design for toffeee.. peope who design use programmes like dreamweaver... programmes like that cant do what only hands on programming can... Programmers will always earn more than designers... Any fool with a computer can make a web site... but to make it live and interactive takes programming
