As Web sites continue to grow in complexity and in the volume of data they must present, databases increasingly drive their content. "Web Database Development Fundamentals" is ideal for the beginning-to-intermediate Web developer, departmental power user, or entrepreneur who wants to step up to a database-driven Web site -- without buying several in-depth guides to the different technologies involved. This book uses the clear Microsoft "RM" Step by Step tutorial method to familiarize developers with the technologies for building smart Web sites that present data more easily.
