I've said before that I am retired but occasionally dabble with databases to help local charities. I've been shown one, a database of talks given by speakers in the area. A blank Excel sheet is downloaded from a website for users to add records. The sheet is then emailed manually to a co-ordinator to be added to a master Excel sheet. A cut-down version is then uploaded to the website for users to read and request further information on selected talks.
This is crying out to be automated but unfortunately my web design skills never got further than Front Page (don't laugh). I assume that it would involve MySQL on a web server. Can anyone recommend some software (preferably Open Source, charity = no money) and a suitable book that I could use to create a suitable website?
Thanks
John
