NWR Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Okay, he goes please be gentle as I'm new, please don't flame me we all have to start somewhere. Up to know I've installed Wamp and that's as far as I've got. My goal is to build a database that has dynamic forms that can be completed on line. I've seen a number of systems where it has the following features: 1, User Management 2, Email Notifications 3, Dynamic Forms to obtain the data required with reports that can be saved in PDF, Excel etc 4, User Data Storage Area 5, Possible Questionnaire Management I don't want to leach from anyone I want to learn, so if you could point me in the right direction where to start I'd be extremely grateful. I understand that the requirements I've noted above could take years of experience but I need to start somewhere. Best Regards NWR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 You need to learn the actual language before you can start to build software with it. Do you know PHP at all? I would start by learning that first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
