[Sigia-l] Site Databases

[Beau Lebens]

I'd say that you might be looking at a reasonably standard bookmark/list
manager in essence, and you should be able to find something like that at a
site like www.hotscripts.com

If you have a developer handy, then you could knock something together very
easily using a languag like PHP (which is Open Source/free, or ASP if you
are stuck with M$ servers), and a database like MySQL (GNU General Public
License (GPL)) or PostgreSQL (Open Source).

It sounds like you'd need a listing including something like;

Offered By,
Techer/Presenter,
Title/Course,
Date(s) Available,
Cost,
etc

so you might pay to set this up using a customised system, rather than
trying to use a pre-packaged solution.

Hope that helps.

//  I'm working on a web site for a learning

//  courses and teachers and dates for the
//  upcoming season, I found a bit of chaos.
//  Independent sets of courses are given
//  by Boston U, Northeastern U, and others
//  who pay for the teaching space.  It is
//  nice here during the summer.
//
//  Also there are numerous courses aimed
//  at islanders that are given year round.
//
//  Is there a freeware or inexpensive way
//  to create a course database for the web
//  page?
//
//  Also do you think it is feasible to use
//  a website like this to draw in students,
//  I mean "sell" seats in our classrooms on
//  an individual basis, worldwide?
