Re: Call for Book Chapters (Web Powered Databases)

Please check out http://www.arsdigita.com/books/panda/

This web site represents a very good guide to setting up database-backed web sites. It is the basis of http://photo.net and includes extensive code samples.

Full source code is available FREE from
http://www.arsdigita.com/acs-repository/?tab%5ftitle=home&path%5flist=3

Until recently, the source code was TCL/AOLServer/Oracle. There is a new project to change the code to Java. Get the OLD code if you wish to compare it with the URL above!
