Access Databases
I have created databases to assist in inventory, check-in procedures, to manage test results (including generating reports), tracking worker hours (payroll), and to develop quotes for jobs.
If your company is based on Microsoft technology, Access gives you the option of having a custom application that you can have designed for you, but also modify yourself. When you work with me, you'll have access to all the source documents and code—so no worries about being stuck in a go-nowhere relationship.
Because I also do tutoring, I can help you to learn about your new Access application and show you how to customize and modify it.
Access also allows you to interface with other databases and even Excel spreadsheets. Ask me for more information.
MySQL
MySQL is the backbone of a website with dynamic content. I can get your site setup with MySQL for use with PHP or even Access.
The key to Web 2.0 functionality is user input and feedback. That requires a method of storage. MySQL is the database of choice from small companies to large corporations.
PHP
PHP is the muscle of a dynamic site. Your site can be customized by user input and from database information. You can also get that really cool one-page site that does everything—if you want to. For the most power and flexibility, set your website up with PHP and MySQL.
I work with traditional (procedural) and object-oriented PHP and Smarty templates.
