Are you ready to develop your website into something more than a collection of static pages? In Dreamweaver 8 Dynamic Development, instructor Dan Short teaches you how to use Dreamweaver to build a robust and dynamic site. This video tutorial delves into the possibilities offered by Dreamweaver 8, including the integration of a back-end database, SQL queries, customized blogs with filtered content, and search forms. Dan breaks down the skills that will help turn you from designer into developer: understanding data types, creating a database, and inserting and updating database records. He also walks you through the construction of both the front and back ends of an interactive blog. While this title uses ColdFusion to demonstrate dynamic development in Dreamweaver, the same procedures and concepts also apply to ASP, PHP, .NET, or any other server-side language. Exercise files accompany the training videos, allowing you to follow along and learn at your own pace.
