Database Software

Since I have been getting better at designing websites, I have noticed that today there is a trend of using database software to make your website more involved. I am not sure how I could get some of the things that I get done on a daily basis with websites without the use of database software.

With the way integration works today, it is easily possible to make your website completely integrated. By integration, what I mean is, making your website work so that the person that runs the website needs to know very little html knowledge (if any at all).

The database software of choice is MySQL. I have heard through college courses and done my own research as well, and have found out that MySQL is one of the hottest trends of database software there is today. It is simple, and to the point, while making it easy for its users to understand.

This is what I have done for most of my Chapter's website, located at http://www.pse-isu.org/. As my Executive Board position nears its end (due to graduation next year) I need to be able to pass on the website responsibilities to someone new. In order to do this, it is my goal to make the website entirely integrated so that this can work smoothly (and I don't have to teach someone everything there is to know about HTML, PHP, and MySQL).
