More and more as the web develops, increasingly complex data processing needs require more than just static, or hard-coded, pages. You want your visitors to be able to ask questions, place orders, and get results immediately. You need current information posted at all times, without having behind-the-scenes humans constantly updating and uploading pages. In other words, you need web pages that can be generated and updated automatically, calling information as needed from a central source such as a database, and updating that source as visitors buy things, add their names to lists, and sign in and out. You need data-drivendynamicwebsites.
This section of the book is for you if you work in the world of dynamic dataor if you want to expand into that world. This chapter goes over what makes a site dynamic, the players and the options in dynamic development, and how Dreamweaver MX 2004 fits into that picture.
