learning db programming- tips

[RUMPFF, Joanna]

There is a very good site called WebThang at http://www.webthang.co.uk that might be worth a look. It has some great tutorials, particularly for Dreamweaver users that can take you through the entire process from the basics to more complicated stuff - it helped get me up and running with ASP and MS Access, but it also covers PHP, MySQL etc.  I found it was a much easier starting place than the half dozen text books I've got.

Andrew (or anyone else who wants to chime in):
more and more I'm resigned to having to learn db programming, but I'm dumb as dirt about it!
Could you please give me some tips on how to get started? What software do I need? (I use DW MX 2004 to create web pages)
