    Looking for a starting point
    I have very little experience with web programming but am interested in making a database website. I am very good at creating databases with Access but am working on a mac. What program should I begin learning to use for making a database that would work well online? Also what program would you suggest using with the database to begin the web design?

    Thank you,
    Chase

    Many online databases make use of some form of SQL, very often MySQL. You can learn more about that here: MySQL :: The world's most popular open source database

    As for accessing MySQL, I'm a fan of PHP. You can find out more about using PHP to access MySQL here: PHP: MySQL - Manual

    Good luck!

    I would agree that My SQL is probably the best choice for your back end. Next best would be SQL Server.

    I think Cold Fusion or just programming in ASP or PHP as the front end.

    Are you? Are all your databases normalized to at least 3NF?
