Building a Dynamic Web Site: Separating Data From Display  

The principles discussed here are part of a general technique we refer to as "'DIDDS" (Dynamic Information Data Delivery System). This approach is useful for organizations or groups who want Web pages that can be changed quickly, easily and consistently by individuals unfamiliar with HTML. The key to this strategy-keeping data separate from display-involves a suite of customized CGI programs whereby data requested by a client is passed through a "display jilter" that attaches the HTh4L tags and generates the page "on the fly."

Writing and Editing Stem Overview  

What could embody this year’s theme of Evolution/Revolution more than the Writing and Editing Stem? On the one hand, we must continue to evolve as professionals by building our writing and editing skills, the cornerstones of our trade. On the other, we must stay on top of the information revolution our industry is experiencing. This stem will help you to do both: build upon the basics and also stay abreast of the new technology and tools that are constantly revolutionizing the ways we do our work.
