Apache Web Server including PHP, Perl & MySQL


Hi All,

Web programming is one of my babies. I love it. It's just so satisfying!

What is not satisfying is trying to install the systems that let you do the web programming and using PHP, Perl and MySQL definitely falls into this category.

However, ApAche Friends have come up with a package that easily installs all you need to start progrmaming in these languages. Try the following link...

...and have fun!

Adobe Student Edition Programme


Hi All,

Something that one of my colleagues has brought to my notice is that Adobe, who now own Macromedia, offer there web design software packages to students at hugely discounted rates. As far as we can see these should also be available to part time students so if you are interested take a look at the following line...

The eligibility details are here:

Also, another colleague noticed that you can also get good rates at Amazon...

I use Dreamweaver and Flash every day and they really are the industrial standard for web design and animation so if you are interested in Web Design, it may be a thought!

Kind regards

Ian
