Custom Content Management System and Data Entry Programs
Web Developer, Jon Holmquist, has years of experience in programming and database design. He has applied his experience to create an AJAX-based *, comprehensive suite of custom Shopping Cart web application programs for developers to use in their own projects. The "back-end" database management tools include data entry programs for every database file in the module.
We also have special tools that allow us to quickly (one-day turn-around) create inexpensive, custom data entry input web-application programs perfect for a Content Management System or for developers to use in their own projects. We can produce three types of data entry utilities depending on the number of tables involved in your particular data relationship:
Database Table Types (Design Patterns)
- Master Tables - Reference tables that define a set of attributes about a specific subject. For example a Contact table contains name, address, email, and phone information about people you've had contact with. Try this Master Table Demo
- Transaction Tables - Tables that store (sometimes time sensitive) recurring instances of a data relationship. For example, in an invoicing system with an Invoice master table which defines the primary attributes of an invoice (company name and contact info), the transaction table would store each of the invoice lines for each billing debit item as well as date sensitive credit payments against the master invoice. Try this Transaction Table Demo
- Junction Tables - Tables that contain common fields from two tables that have a many-to-many relationship. For example, a school might track students, classes, and which classes each student is enrolled in. Try this Junction Table Demo
*Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) is a relatively new web development technique for creating interactive web applications. It is rapidly gaining in popularity for the seamless and responsive interactive experience it provides to users. Traditional client-server processing requires a barely-noticed, but annoying, refresh of the page, which can add confusion if your page position is shifted. AJAX allows instantaneous database updates, page updates, message boxes, etc., without ever leaving the current page and focus.
For us to create your data entry web application programs, all we need are the definitions (also called the "schema") of the tables you're working with. Just email us information that looks similar to that below. For example the table definition of our simple demo table looks like this:
| Field | Data Type |
|---|
| contid | int(11) |
| username | varchar(32) |
| email | varchar(32) |
| phone | varchar(32) |
| contype | int(11) |
| comments | text |
| listoptin | tinyint(1) |
| credtime | datetime |
| |
Try out all of our Data Entry Input Program Demos, the Master Table demo, the Transactional Table demo, or our Junction Table demo, They are all fully functional examples of data entry programs for finding, entering, navigating forward and backward through, and deleting fictional contact, invoice and school classes information.
