Ready....go!

I am going to design, build, and make available a database of discographical information intended for jazz researchers. I am a computer "power-user," but I have no programming or coding experience beyond some basic HTML. With this blog I will track my progress in learning the skills I need, implimenting those skills in the design of the site, and overcoming what obstacles are sure to arise. I intend to use the LAMP stack for this database: Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP.
