Introduction to Databases for Web Developers
Getting the Pieces  
So now that we understand what it is that we are building, let's continue by assembling the tools and raw material.

As I said before, we are going to demonstrate this process on a Windows 95 machine. I chose to demonstarte on a Windows box because I know that even if you are a UNIX developer, you have access to a Windows machine that you can use to develop a test site. Of course, most likely, you develop on a Windows system. Either way, everything we go over can be performed on any platform, just with different software packages. I will try to point out where things might be different as we go along.
