Dynamic Web Development using Cold Fusion
Bill Cupps, DevTech, Inc.
This session is a replacement for "Building Dynamic Web Pages: An Overview,"
(see below) and will cover similar topics, including database design,
query design, web page templates, and techniques.
Bill Cupps is president of DevTech, Inc., and a certified trainer for
Allaire (e.g., Cold Fusion) products.
Building Dynamic Web Pages: An Overview *** CANCELLED ***
Jim Kraft, Cascade Small Business Development Center
In static Web pages, the content is tied into the page along with the
HTML coding. To change that content, the whole page must be changed.
Dynamic Web pages, on the other hand, draw their content from a
database, such as Microsoft Access. The information is pulled from this
database and displayed on the Web using template pages. Each time a page
is called up it may be different, depending on the information requested.
To change content, only the database needs to be changed.
This session will examine database design, query design, web page
templates, software and techniques, in particular Allaire's Cold Fusion
and Microsoft's Active Server Pages, with examples of how these are
used in community and economic development. The session will demonstrate
how to put together a simple dynamic web page using off-the-shelf
software, and give you an understanding of just how easy it is to create
powerful dynamic web pages.
Jim Kraft has been active in Internet applications since 1993. He was
one of the first to test e-commerce in eastern Oregon and has spent the
last two years developing a virtual entrepreneurship center using
dynamic web technology. He is currently the Director of the Cascade
Small Business Development Center in Redding, CA.
Current Awareness Resources
Donna Cohen, D L Cohen Information Services; Alexey Panchenko,
Hewlett-Packard Research Center
The web provides a variety of free current awareness and customized
(or personalized) news services to selectively tap into news and
developments related to various areas of knowledge. In the workshop
we will examine some useful websites. The emphasis will be on free
resources; however, in order to have perspective for choosing the most
appropriate resource for a given circumstance, we will also discuss some
distinctions between free and fee-based sites. Our analysis will include
commentary on options for depth and breadth of content, and delivery
methods.

Delivering Government Information Virtually: The GILS Movement among
the States
Gayle Palmer, Washington State Library; Susan Westin, Oregon State
Library
States are making progress in delivering local and state government
information virtually. Find out how Washington State's Government
Information Locator Service (WAGILS) became a national leader and a
model program whose methodology and design is being adopted by the
states of Oregon, New Hampshire, Illinois, New Mexico. Learn about the
GILS movement involving sixteen states to create an interoperable,
collaborative national GILS.
Washington State's Government Information Locator Service (WAGILS)
includes a web search engine called Find-It! Washington™,
http://find-it.state.wa.us, that offers easy and powerful access to
state and local government information and services. The WAGILS program
provides services to participating governments in the form of workshops,
consultation, and training in the development of content for web
delivery.
WAGILS applies the principles of information organization found in
librarianship to the world of web publishing, using a novel approach
to creatively embed a metadata index in Web pages to improve
discovery and minimize effort for citizens. The Institute of Museum
and Library Services (IMLS) has funded an effort to disseminate the
WAGILS model in four states. Through the IMLS project more than
sixteen states are engaged in an effort to collaborate in the
development of GILS efforts throughout the nation. See the project web
site "Exporting Washington State's GILS" at
http://www.statelib.wa.gov/projects/imls/webpage.html.
