More dynamic.. For example, the lines on the front page (Red
Heading\nPlaintext) could easily be done in a script right from a database:
IE
SELECT * FROM advHeadlines ORDER BY timStamp WHERE active;
Then <h3>$headline</H3>$content<br>
Or even in a table.
In C? They're not that hard to do.. MySQL is pretty Interfacable now.
The API is workable, and beats the crap out of Netapi32.dll from Win32 =)
Or the DAO/RDO stuff.. Well, they are kinda simple for base functionality,
though creating a class makes it easier, and very C++ like.
Jordy, there any kind mass brainstorming lists laying around?
