Summary

We've tried to introduce you to the web-driven world, if that's possible in one short chapter. There are advantages and disadvantages, and as with any business decision, you have to weigh your unique needs and resources. But Dreamweaver MX can help you balance any disadvantages, such as the costs and the highly paid personnel that often accompany a web venture. In the end, there's simply nothing to replace experience. The remaining chapters will open the world of databases and show you how to use scripting languages to interact with databases. By the end of the book, you'll know the ins and outs of retrieving and interacting with dynamic data in several database formats.

In the next chapter, you'll launch Dreamweaver MX and have a look around.
