Online databases
Usually the publishing of databased dynamic web content requires quite a lot of programming skills. Widespread and almost standard is the MySQL / PHP combination.
Several years ago I found another, very simple way of publishing dynamic content. A german programmer from Berlin by the name of Christoph Bergmann developed the baseportal system which is available in multiple languages. I’ve been using the system for several purposes for about five years now and I’m impressed by the ease of use, power and flexibility.
There´s an easy start section where new users are led in an easy, five minutes lesson to the publishing if their first online database.
The documentation will allow users with a little advanced knowledge to realize almost any kind of dynamic content, the Perl language is the key to the realization of anything you may want to do.
“What can I do with baseportal?”
Everything… ;-)
At least everything you need for your website. Here are some practical examples:
- A dealer of Model Railways administrates his sale offers with baseportal.
- A simple database like a list of airlines is created fast and easy with baseportal.
- Arbitrary complex applications can be programmed, like a content management system with several categories, mail and news dispatch, user registration and much more.
- A portal of the German Hockey League uses baseportal to maintain and archive its news.
“Those are only some few examples from thousands web applications realized with baseportal!”
