The Development Cycle

It all started when you developed a really cool site. Now you have to integrate to an existing corporate environment. You like the cool look that the site has achieved but you are unable to gain the security and database integration characteristics that your real business has. Here are a few primers and links that will help you along the way

I encourage you to look at OracleSite to gain insight into how Oracle can help you with your mission critical informational storage needs.
Content Management Systems-Sharepoint The idea of content-management system is simple.Take everything you need to create a website (content) and store it in readily accessible media such as xml, properties files or the Database itself. The most advanced CMS System is Microsoft's Sharepoint site. The J2EE Equivalent is Vignettes Web Content Management product . For more information I encourage you to view Vignette's site at Vignette. Another CMS shareware offering for Apache is Drupal .
