How Do I Extend FrontPage by Using Other Programming
Languages?
You've heard me say this before -
what FrontPage does, it does well.
What about what FrontPage doesn't do?
It actually can handle that as well.
Here are three solutions to extending
FrontPage using 3 amazingly popular technologies.
The combination of these tools and FrontPage
is unstoppable!
Industrial Strength Database Integration?
Did you know you could use FrontPage to
generate ASP.NET, ASP, JSP, PHP, Perl & ColdFusion? Were
you aware that a plug-in was available (right now, forget
that .Net promise!) that can automatically convert your
database to a web application by creating a multi-page,
dynamic site based on your database structure?
Have you seen the FrontPage plug-in for
CodeCharge?
It's all there. Wow.
If you use, need to use, or were
considering using, the "bigger" technologies out there but
don't want to leave your dear old FrontPage (and who
does), this might be the answer for you. Give them a
look.
PHP and FrontPage?
The growth of the open source PHP movement
is staggering. The power is phenomenal. The implications
amaze me.
I'm personally very proud of the PHP
Rocket Plug-In for FrontPage that we now have
on sale at FrontPageTools for only $39.95.
You can run PHP with
CodeCharge above but our
Rocket Plug-In is a less expensive option for
those who want to take their programming a bit further.
Yes, PHP and FrontPage work very nicely
together.
The Fireworks MX Program Everyone Talks
About?
People keep talking about all the cool
graphics things you can do with Fireworks MX.
I don't disagree - I'm just not a graphics
guy. If you haven't figured that out by now, you don't
know me that well. And, I've never claimed that the
graphics capabilities of FrontPage were all that much.
However, here are some interesting facts
for you:
-
Did you know you could integrate the
code generated by Fireworks MX right into FrontPage?
That means you could let Fireworks do what it does well
and let FrontPage do what it does well.
-
The thing has an average customer review
of 5 starts (best possible at Amazon). I haven't found
any others that have the same rating.
-
Fireworks MX also includes the ability
to edit text created in Adobe Photoshop 6. You now have
access to all of the industry standards.
If you are interested, Amazon is currently
offering $20 off and free shipping on
Fireworks MX.
To Summarize
Comprehensive database integration,
inexpensive open-source programming integration, and the
best rated graphics programs anywhere can all be
integrated into the FrontPage you are using right now.
I LOVE THIS PROGRAM!
