Clay is a professional web designer and long-time Dreamweaver
user responsible for maintaining the intranet and Internet sites of a medium-sized
company of 1000 employees. One day, Jill from Human Resources comes to him
with a problem. HR administers an employee fitness program that gives employees
points for every mile walked, biked, or run. Each employee must report his
or her monthly mile totals in an e-mail to Jill. At the end of the month,
Jill gathers all the e-mail messages and awards employees small cash prizes
according to their point totals.
Jill’s problem is that the fitness program has grown too successful.
So many employees now participate that Jill is inundated with e-mails at the
end of each month. Jill asks Clay if a web-based solution exists.
Clay proposes an intranet-based web application that performs the following
tasks:
• Lets employees enter their mileage on a web page using a simple HTML
form
• Stores the employees’ mileage in a database
• Calculates fitness points based on the mileage data
• Lets employees track their monthly progress
• Gives Jill one-click access to point totals at the end of each month
Clay gets the application up and running before lunchtime using Dreamweaver
MX, which has the tools he needs to build this kind of application quickly
and easily.
