Others have raved about Django and mentioned Rails - I'll rave about
Rails :-)
I confess that in the mid 90's I was an Access programmer; I find
programming in Rails to be almost as easy as Access programming, but
giving you a web frontend on an open-source stack.
When I was researching frameworks a few years ago, what tipped me
towards Rails was that there was a lot more books available for Rails
than Django, and this still seems to be the case. Pragmatic Programmers
have a lot of Ruby/Rails books, but for a beginner I would recommend
"Build your own Ruby on Rails Web Applications", Lenz, published by
Sitepoint.

Hi all,
this is a bit OT but as I want to do it at home on my linux box I
thought I ask here for some guidance.
For a bigger project at work I set up a access database a while ago -
it does the job but I would like to get away from access.
The database is basically a large list of past job/FEAdesigns for
later reference. At some stage I wanted to import/export from and to
out FEA software (a text file).
I have to admit my knowledge in Access is not huge but I would be even
more keen on learning something more open. I know a bit of VBA and
HTML which is why I thought could there something be done with PHP and
mySQL.
I would prefer to have the reporting and data entry done in a web based format.
Are there any simple good options?
Thanks for any ideas.
Cheers,
Sebastian
