Create a content management system with PHP and Derby

Use a CMS to submit your site content to Google's index automatically

Tyler Anderson (tyleranderson5@yahoo.com), Freelance Writer
Tyler Anderson graduated with a degree in computer science from Brigham Young University in 2004 and is currently in his last semester as a master's of science student in computer engineering. In the past, he worked as a database programmer for DPMG.COM, and he is currently an engineer for Stexar Corp., based in Beaverton, Ore.

Summary:  Learn how to build a simple content management system (CMS) that can be used to create, maintain, and submit a sitemap to Google automatically. Page content is managed through a database using PHP and a Web browser. When the system's content changes, the system creates and submits a sitemap to Google, speeding up the process of getting your new and updated content indexed.
