June 2006 issue of the DMXzone e-Magazine released

In this edition we show you the most important steps in creating a site with stylish content that is connected to a database.

We’ll start out by exploring the changes in Dreamweaver 8 that have to do with site maintenance or administration. That way you can have a good clean start for your site.

Anyone who designs websites for a living, or who has built their own website, has faced the need to design and build a banner for the Homepage. That’s why David Nicholls shows you how to design and construct such a banner. The article uses a real-world client project as the basis for the design.

As a web designer you often have to use photos on your website that haven’t been made by a professional photographer. We'll show you how to improve such a photo with Firework’s various image filters and effects.

Furthermore we'll show you how easy it is to develop Flash / Database interactivity using the visual tools of our favorite web editor. Using Dreamweaver, we’ll make Flash “talk” to a database in order to create, view, update and delete records.

The last article takes a look at two powerful concepts in ASP.NET, first we connect to an SQL server database and then we use the data within that database to populate a DataGrid component to display a dynamic table on an ASPX Web Form.
