As previously said, the application built by following this tutorial does not involve any database (it is a "static" application). A server model technology is needed to be set though.
Before you start building the actual application, there are a few things that you should do:
Create a new site in Dreamweaver and make sure it is correctly configured (set the Local Info, Remote Info, and Testing Server just like for any other functional site of yours).
Note: Do not skip to set the server model - in order to provide graceful degradation for your web application, MX AJAX Toolbox needs a server technology. This way, even when JavaScript is disabled in the client’s browser, your company presentation website will still be available to visitors.
The supported server models are PHP ADODB (provided by PHAkt) and PHP MySQL.
Do not create any files inside the new site, just leave it empty for now.
You will need the \tutorials\Company Presentation\images folder from the .zip package. You will be told when to copy it in your site structure.
Note: For more information on configuring your site, please consult the Getting started help file. This can be found inside Dreamweaver's Help menu, InterAKT -> Getting Started.
Continue with the next topic to build the AJAX site and define its structure.
