Dynamic web design.

Jacer17 · 05-06-2006, 04:42 PM

Any one use a dynamic coding to do their web design, such as php, cgi, and coldfusion?
I use php along with mysql, it saves a lot of time.
If I am making a site which there are non web designers int he staff, I will use php's fwrite along with the template design. A great combination

You mean something like ajax? Sorry, "Dynamic coding" is a new term to me...

Lets see...PHP, ASP, MySQL, MS SQL, Oracle for starters. These days, a site that isnt semi-dynamic is semi-dead!

tiddlers??? WTF!? That's right, I use a dynamic website engine built on the TiddlyWiki engine, using an implimentation called ccTiddly which I've found I really like, save for a few remaining cross-browser issues.

you should check out http://www.tiddlywiki.com to see what I'm talking about.

I took a quick glance and really like a lot of the features - enough that I bookmarked the page in a new folder so that I can skip back to it for closer study next time I go on a testing binge. I especially like things like his incorporation of keyboard shortcuts and the liquid stylesheet. One of the things I hate with a lot of blog/portal/community type engines is that you need to rip the things guts out to change the way it looks. It looks like TiddlyWiki's designer went out of his way to make that easy for people.

More on topic (or answering the question at any rate) when I'm creating from scratch, I use php with Mysql and create my own user interface for adding content so that it's easy to add content and update the site regularly.

If you're designing profesionally, I think at least a simple content management system that your end user can use is an absolute must.

I use php and mysql for most of my development.

I use PHP and MySQL. I wan't to learn ASP, but I just can't find time to.

I know what you mean...life is busy :)

Yea, I'm working on 3 projects, not to mention my new hobby: Domain registering... I'm going to go bankruptcy if this keeps up..

At my previous employer I worked full-time developing content management systems, both Flash and static front ends, developed communcations for all sites (sister sites as well) and they were in two environments. We had 3 servers, I worked full-time in both .net2 (using C# and MS SQL Server 2005) and linux (running PHP4 and MySQL).

Honestly both have their ups and downs, I liked them both, I like the structure of C# FAR more than I like php, but have been using php for a few years now. I feel that if you get really comfortable with one language you can cram a bunch in your head.

In any event, my new job I am strictly an Actionscript Developer, I will do server side integration with .net and php again as well, and I'm sure that I will be doing database work.

My suggestion is to just learn one language well, preferably a well-structured, functional language (something you can make money with while learning). C# would be a good starter.

I am learning php, but it's not easy! I have to learn it to work well with joomla!

Cooldogs · 05-11-2006, 07:07 PM

Dymnamic coded sites are starting to become something esential. I would not code any site with out atleast PHP support. I am pretty much dependant on PHP support for web design.

spkmldotcom · 05-11-2006, 07:41 PM

XHTML, Javascript, CSS, PHP/MySQL... That's pretty much all I try to use. I figure if I can't do it with that then, I'm not trying hard enough... :P

I use XML and PHP together with Actionscript. I'm not a pro when it comes to scripting but I'm getting there. I'm busy working on a CMS for flash sites, actually for my own site but I want to implement it in designs that I make and hopefully sell it at a reasonable price together with templates. That's my next business venture.

The idea sounds great. Good luck
