Hello people

I would like to create a username and password section on a website that i am designing which will showcase my design work. There will be more than one username and passwords. Now i am unsure of what hosting i need, what scripting technology i need to use to use. I will be using dreamweaver but havent really used any database software like access yet.

Is there any good examples or downloadable tutorials that i can take a look at especially a database and to see how that is layed out? Thanks for your help in advance.

Kind regards

Graham

There are tutorials right on the DevNet center for creating your first
database driven site. The server model depends on what experience you have,
what hosting is available to you and what platform you will deploy on. The
easiest to learn is probably Cold Fusion because it's tag based like html
is. ASP/VB is probably the most prevalent out there, although PHP will
deploy on either a Unix or Windows server (if the server has it installed)
but it's also a little more difficult to learn.

Start with your experience. Have you done any kind of programming?
Familiar with any languages?

Hi Nancy,

Thanks for you reply.

I do have some basic understanding and i use dreamweaver 8 for my website development. I have used PHP for mail forms etc.

The hosting environement i am using supports PHP and ASP, i have never actually put a database together neither using access.
