A.M. Software

Technology	Comments / Examples
Flash	Flash presentation is an excellent way to attract attention and make your Web site stand out.
Perl	Includes developing database driven applications with MySQL, spidering tools, shopping cart design and automating tasks.
CGI	Web applications using Perl and MySQL
MySQL	MySQL is becoming the standard for databases on the web and works very well with Perl.
Javascript	Client-side applications including form validation, roll-over effects, and other interface elements.
ASP	If you are using one of Microsoft's servers, then Active Server Pages might be a good alternative to using CGIs. One advantage is that the pages are in the form of HTML pages. This makes it easy for non-programmers to make edits to the page content without touching the programming part. ASP is often used with databases such as Access and SQL Server.
PHP	This is one of my favorites. If you use Unix servers, and you want something that works like ASP, then PHP is the answer. PHP has the same advantages as ASP and is often used with MySQL as well as other databases.
Visual Basic	If you need a Windows Application, then Visual Basic might be the answer.
