Web Dev - Looking for some help

[Dracas]

Heyo folks, I wanted to post and see if anyone here had any links to a good ASP or PHP tutorial. I'm starting a local statistical research group for Systemic Lupus sufferers in a hope that I might help find a statistical link to the cause of Lupus. Why? Because my fiancee has lupus, every day I watch what it does to her, and being pretty dang broke, theres little I can do. I don't have the cash for local classes on things like MySQL or writing a statistical data collection front end...I just know I need to get one made for her and the other folks that have this disease.

For the moment the project has the support of the Lupies over on WebMD's lupus support group, but I need to get everything in order and give them an easy to use front end - so I can avoid making their life more difficult. Whatever info and statistics I get from them will be turned in to a Rheumatologist at the Scripps Research Institute (currently, the doctor who cares for my soon-to-be-wife). Its the least I can do, and I want to do it, but I don't know where to start!

So if you happen to have a handy link laying around...paste it to me, okay? Or if you can help, that'd be great..

I use www.asp101.com a lot, to code I used FP & notepad, not Dreamweaver...

What exactly are you hoping to do with ASP or PHP, maybe we can point you in the exact direction.

Thanks for the links, I've got them bookmarked and will look them over later when I have a chance. As for what I'm looking to do, I'm trying to make a "Form" that asks various questions about Systemic Lupus Eurythmatosus, Polymyositis, Rhuematoid Arthritis, Nephritis, Sjorgrens, etc., etc.. and then save the statisticals information generated by someone completing that form out.

Its a statistical research effort so my fiancee and I have something to give back to her Rheumatologist at the research institute, he's doing a great job, but a gross lack of statistical information makes it difficult to determine what kind of polymorphic entities exist in the ethnic and age groups that develop these disease, my fiancee and I are trying to find a linking factor is all.

I hope that makes sense...but because the only thing I know how to code is HTML, guess I'll have to grab some books on ASP or PHP (I've been warned against using ASP, but it doesn't look that bad), so hopefully I'll get this all figured out soon

I hope that you are able to finish this project it sounds like it could prove to be some benefit. Don't be afraid of ASP, I'm a newbie with it and thanks to some tutorials and fellow sysopt posters I am currently making (what I think) is a complex web application. Here are some urls I found handy: http://asp.programmershelp.co.uk/index.asp http://www.powerasp.com/ http://www.programmersheaven.com/default.htm http://www.programmersresource.com/default.asp http://www.brainjar.com/ http://asp101.com/ http://www.developersdex.com/ http://www.w3schools.com/default.asp http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/
And here is one I found helpful with error codes and their common reasons: http://www.webwizguide.info/asp/faq/...e_faq.asp#FAQ8

I hope this helps, Don.
