While I understand or can attempt to understand how pure external web
programming can use ODBC or other methods to communicate with a MV database,
ie RedBack, I'm a little in the dark as how the actual web programming can
be programmed in MV. I've written dozens of subroutines for those
programmers, sharing with Redback.
One of my new clients uses Coyote and has an outside programmer who handles
the 'web stuff'. I thought that this programmer was 'one of them' whereby he
wrote web stuff using Dreamweaver, Cold Fusion or Front Page and made calls
to the MV database. I now understand that the web stuff, ie that which
generated HTML (sic), is programmed in MV as well.
Thus, wanting to learn more about web programming without leaving my MV
roots, I would like to learn more about Coyote. I have another client who
strongly dislikes his web programmers, likes me and MV and perhaps this
would be the way to give him what he wants, web-wise.
thanks in advance.
