Imagine creating a web site that responds to your users, is easy to update and does not consist of thousands of HTML pages to maintain. In this hands on workshop, learn how to create forms, web pages and a database that will work together to give your web site powerful dynamic features. You'll be able to collect information from your users to create surveys, have people register on your web site, password protect your site, and display and sort information so that one web page can replace thousands!
