Kurt: Do you want to build a web app, or do you want to drop in a pre-built Gallery app? I'm getting confusing signals. If you want to build a web app, VFP is great, PHP or Ruby or Python is better. There are web app frameworks for all platforms. You will need to learn a little HTML and CSS if you're serious about developing an app. The more you learn, the better the site looks. An amateur site screams amateur, and that's fine if you're building your own home page as a learning experience, but it's not always appropriate if you want to give people the best first impression. Look at this for an example: http://pt35mm.com/ If, instead, your interest is a gallery to show off your artwork, I would expect AJAXy whizbang, a LightBox-equivalent gallery application and a seamless, slick web interface. Those are free if you invest a little time in shopping and install something like WordPress or Joomla! or Drupal and pick a good template, a nice theme, and the right plugins. Instead of investing a lot of time in learning to build a web app from beginning to end, consider using a pre-built one, and add your stuff on the top. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
