WHAT ARE THE PROS OF LIVE DATA ON A WEBSITE, AND MAKING IT INTO A WEB QUERY? please read additional details:)?

The advantage of any LIVE data is that it is dynamic. For example the Top 10 artists could change on a weekly basis. If you have them in an Excel sheet as you mentioned, then you need to periodically change the same and re-host it in your website.\n\nOn the otherhand, if you incorporate Live Feed (RSS) from that website, it will always be Latest as the update on their site is updated directly on your website.\n\nAnother example is the Latest 3 questions I have asked!! If you put the RSS from my page on your website, whenever I ask a new question, that feed with update your website!! \n\nHope that clarifies.\n\n.:Fishie:.

We had trouble getting users on to our Intranet site and so we put things that were up to date a relevant on there.  These included 2 sections, one section for work, and one to entice them:\n\nWork Related:  Maps to locations, Daily Sales, Announcements, Calendars, Hot News, Presentations, Phone List, Policies, New Products, Company Information.\n\n\nEnticements:  For Sale Board, Holiday Bookings, External News, Work Dos, Share Information.\n\nWe found that if you start by keeping it easy and then build it up when it's already live this works much better.  Easy links are the key.

Your probably would have to have SQL, but even that would not be enough. You'd need a log viewer as well.

Not just data processing, www.elance.com is an excellent source of all sorts of genuine online work. Have a look.

Is the World Wide Web really the best choice you can make for local information?  Perhaps you should use a telephone or a radio.

I think it's great.  Loads quickly, not too busy, and not crowded with too much information.  SOmewebsites with too many things going slow down its loading and yours is great.  Although I am not a web builder, I've done it, but am not an expert.  You may get more criticism from the more experienced like yourself.

I recently was approached by a friend of a friend to produce them a modelling website.  I said yes.\n\nWhat i didn't tell them was i had never done a web-page before!!  Well I downloaded a program called coffeecup that gives you fairly clean code (compared to Frontpage), and used its visual editor to start.  I then looked at the code it had produced to see what was going on.  After also looking up different HTML tags and how to do tables and such, it was much easier and i was now able to write HTML without using the visual editor.\n\nI then had to tackle PHP to do a few bits.  I used these websites to get what i wanted.\n\nhttp://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/index.phtml/fid/51\nhttp://www.zend.com/php/index.php\nhttp://www.devtek.org/tutorials/image_gallery.php\nhttp://www.webdeveloper.com/\n\nAnyway i went from knowing nothing to producing a website, with changing images, a web based contact form and a shopping cart (short list) in about 2 weeks of on and off looking at it after work.\n\nIt is more than possible to learn to do web design in short amounts of time.  Obviously for more complex features it just takes longer, but i have found all information available on the web that i need.  Certainly no need for a 10,000 course.  Also simply look at the source for websites to see what others are doing.\n\nGet a project to work on, research the web and do it!\n\nGood luck and enjoy.\n\nFor my small triumph, visit http://www.seenmodels.com

Use either Access or MySQL. 1000 records is very small, you do not need to pay the $thousands for MS SQL or Oracle. Access can definitely handle 1000 records.\n\nOne nice thing about Access is that it enables you to create forms. So people can input data using a visual form, and the data goes into the database. Also, Access offers a GUI for creating your database tables. MySQL does not offer these capabilities, but its main plus is that it is free. I would question what the other guy said about how powerful it is, though. It is definitely a lot weaker than Oracle or MS SQL, BUT for your needs it should be fine.\n\nEither Access or MySQL will work fine for Web programming too if you want to connect your db to an online Web site.

OK as long as what we are talking about is simple presentation needs all you need to know is HTML and CSS in today's world you do not even need to know that as you can graphically design your site using graphic design interfaces like macromedia MX or Front-Page. If you are talking about a more complex site one that is dynamic I.E. changes its content based on a programming language that runs in the background and usually involves a data base to store data. \nPHP and MySQL like any other tool in the world has its advantages and disadvantages.\nPHP and MySQL are open source platform just like Linux. Usually runs on a Linux machine with Apache or tomcat servers (can be run on windows servers but not recommended). Some of the main advantages of such a setup are:\n*It is completely free almost no investment in software.\n*Very fast and easy to develop and is universal.\n*Very versatile as to its capabilities.\nMain disadvantages: \n*MySQL does not support triggering. I.E needs a lot of compensation on the PHP side of things to achieve the same things MSSQL can do by itself.\n*PHP is not completely object oriented and is incapable of doing certain client side tasks like java script can.\n*MySQL is limited in the size of the data base it supports and is relatively smaller then MS SQL servers (it still supports enormous amount of data and I find it well sufficient for most applications).\n\nYour other options include Microsoft solutions which are more expensive software wise slower in development and maintenance. But in the long run have much more capabilities then PHP and MySQL. \nAgain as the lady before me said it all depends on your specific needs and what you want to achieve with your website.

You can use PHP and read/write to a MySQL Database.\n\nHere is one good tutorial:\nhttp://webmonkey.wired.com/webmonkey/programming/php/tutorials/tutorial4.html\n\nIf you need additional help you can email me,\neoffice4u@gmail.com

If you are refering to a software preloaded with facts and trivia such as found here in YA, I doubt it. BUT, why not save your webpages in YA that have the data you want? Simply click on FILE (In IE 6+), then "SAVE AS", and you can save the whole page that is currently in your browser :)

Hi, \n\nOk your question is a little open ended, but here's the general principle. \nYour website has asp on it, so that is the first hurdle. The question you need to ask who ever provides your web space, is whether they can provide a database as well, it'll will either be MySQL, SQL Server, or support Access databases. More than likely it's SQL server if your site has asp on it. The next bit is the tricky bit. You'll need to put the access database containing the stock levels either on the web server where your website is, or by transferring the data to a database your isp provides.\n\nThe next bit is the easier bit ;) . You'll need to write some asp pages to query the database and display the results, which isn't as difficult as it sounds. That's pretty much it. \n\nThere's a load of books about creating dynamic data driven websites on Amazon... get one that will go through all the concepts from easy bits to the end...!

Well, one route would be to use an SQL database. In this case, the code would basically just be a couple SQL queries and a bit of html.  However, you'd need a host that allowed you to use a database.

Your question doesn't make much sense.\n\nAre you looking for a Master's thesis topic?\n\nAJAX can be used to get info asynchronysly from a db, allowing you to change data on a web page without reloading the whole page.\n\nYou need to be more explicit if you need more info.

there is no set time, all major search engines are constantly combing the net for updated sites, it can take from hours to days.  Best practice is to use search tags that are unique to you (if possible) try not to put your tags within frames in the main page (search engines like plain html on the main page) and if you are desperate for listings consider paying fro them, for a business this could be worthwhile (but remember only certain key words can be listed).  Hope this helps :)
