Nolen - There are many, many more options today than there used to be (browse the iNug archives for some lively discussions), but David Adams book is a comprehensive primer that many developers have used over the years, especially to get started. It is now available for download, free, as David tells us in his 2013 letter below.
_____ Date: Mon, 4 Nov 2013 18:38:55 +1100 Subject: 4D Web Companion PDF available for download I've been asked many times over the years for a PDF version of this book and have finally dug up a copy. You can find the link here: http://www.island-data.com/ ... Regarding the PDF: * I've embedded a full text index to make searches quicker in some readers. * Some readers show a black background on some images instead of a transparent background. File under "I can't fix that now." Reader seems fine. * The bookmark structure - now you all see how I think ;-) Regarding the content: 4D has done an *amazing* job of keeping their Web server backwards compatible. Despite being an old title, most of the content in this book is still correct. It's not complete, of course, but it's fundamentally correct. Again, that's to 4D's credit, not mine. Regarding the cost: Free. Thanks to everyone over the years for supporting my trainings and writings. Much appreciated! If anyone is overwhelmed by a need to share, there's an Amazon referral click-through on my site and I'm always in the market for iTunes gift cards to buy yet more birding apps. In any case, I'm happy if some of you find the PDF helpful. -- David Adams _____ To: 4d_tech@lists.4d.com Subject: Publishing a DB on the WWW. Howto. Date: Sun, 2 Dec 2018 18:56:35 -0700 (MST) From: Nolen via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> Reply-To: 4D iNug Technical <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> Cc: no...@internode.on.net I have a small DB which does what it needs to do and now I would like to run aspects of it on the WWW. I understand this is possible but I don't have any real knowledge of websites and how to publish them. Is there a public or demo database anyone can recommend which will help me understand how to achieve this? Thanks. _____________________________________ Sent from http://4d.1045681.n5.nabble.com ******************************************************************** ** ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **********************************************************************
