RE: FLASH: RE: Flash: OT (easier way to link database to website)

[David Jacobs]

If I were you, I would NOT try to do this yourself in that timeframe. I

learned enough ASP for a major project in two months, but I still was not

that good, received everyday assistance in the process, and had my boss and

a mountain of books to turn to with problems. Since the programming isn't

even your only concern here, you are going to end up spending the majority

of your time on things that aren't your specialty. You should probably take

the opportunity to learn along with someone who already knows what needs to

be done. You'll learn faster, get the job done quicker (and *right*), and be

able to focus on what you do best.


I haven't used Drumbeat 2000 yet, but I look forward to using it soon.

Supposedly it scales to your level, so you can have as little or as much

control over your code as you wish. If you decide to go ASP (which is my

recommendation), this software might be a good bet.


The development environment most commonly used is Visual InterDev. It has

more support for ASP than any other editor or development tool (other than

Drumbeat), but any editor can be used. (InterDev is my personal preference

when I have a lot of code to write, but I often write or edit ASP code from

within Dreamweaver, or wherever I happen to be.)


There are lots of good sites for ASP, and most of them link to each other,

so I needn't give reams of them. Just do some searching.


The absolute best advice I can give is to get the book "Professional Active

Server Pages 2.0" by Wrox Press (I think 3 just came out). It has nearly

everything you need to know about ASP, and is recognized industry wide as

THE reference and study guide. Get it.


Hope this helps some.
