you probably want php which intergrates into mysql nicely, as mysql being the database for the content, http://www.php.net/
http://www.phpbuilder.com/ there is also some links on the php site u might want to check out http://www.php.net/links.php with mysql you prob want to master the sql queries to get the most optimised way to retrieve your data. these sites are good has alot of resources and helped me alot when i was a newbie http://www.weberdev.com/ http://www.devshed.com/ >===== Original Message From David Blomstrom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ===== >I'm interested in learning about MYSQL and wondered if anyone could give me >a few pointers for getting started. > >I've designed over 1,000 webpages, based at http://www.geobop.com, but my >technical skills are very basic.
