Macromedia Dreamweaver MX's rich feature set simplifies the process of creating web sites while producing stunning results. Dreamweaver MX includes built-in database support, previously available only with the UltraDev version of the software. However, creating dynamic, database-driven sites is altogether a different prospect than building static HTML pages. Database-driven sites are more complex and involve more software components, both during development and deployment. If you've been discouraged by the complexity of picking the right database model and creating an effective data-driven site, then Building Database-Driven Web Sites with Dreamweaver MX is the answer. Written for Dreamweaver developers and power users, this book guides you through the process of creating Web pages with Dreamweaver MX that access a remote database, using ColdFusion, ASP, ASP.NET, JSP, or PHP - without a lot of programming. "Building Database-Driven Web Sites with Dreamweaver MX" focuses exclusively on the database-related features of Dreamweaver MX while paying careful attention to database-related topics peripheral to Dreamweaver.
You'll learn about working with different databases and scripting languages, security issues, performance concerns, and site management. The book covers specific techniques, such as creating connections, server-side validation, controlling browser caching, user management, and maintaining state between multiple sessions and site visits. You'll find out how to control the visual presentation of dynamic data, and learn how to use Dreamweaver MX to alter attributes of page elements with CSS and DHTML. You'll also see how the built-in behaviours of Dreamweaver MX can be used best in a web application. Author Simon Allardice, a well-known speaker and trainer, applies his first-hand knowledge and polished teaching style to give you all the tools you'll need to create sharp, dynamic sites.
