Hello I am at the very beginning of a new project to develop a Flex UI to be placed within a web page for accessing training content. Think of BBC iPlayer, Lynda.com, iTunes etc. (but on a very small scale!). The training content comprises several hundred Lessons. The Lessons are simple static web pages which are grouped into Topics. Courses are simple collections of Lessons grouped by their Topics. The new Flex UI simply allows the user to browse/find content from where they then jump to the corresponding Course or Lesson.
Users will have several ways of finding training courses or browsing individual Lessons through an engaging and simple UI. The first generation, and current, of this was developed in Flash Professional and the swf file read an XML file which we had to keep updated as more content was added. It works well and requires nothing of the hosting environment so portability is simple. This time I may need a slightly more sophisticated database providing relationships between data tables and a simple way of providing Search and filtering capability for the user. I recognise that I only know what I know and my database experience has been limited to SQL in a .NET environment so I am looking for your experiences. So my question is: what would you suggest for a contemporary, simple database to allow my Apache Flex built swf file to access data resulting in a dynamic user experience? Thank you. -- View this message in context: http://apache-flex-users.2333346.n4.nabble.com/Simple-Database-Architecture-Suggestions-Please-tp7726.html Sent from the Apache Flex Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
