[Preston] MySQL

[Caroline]

Hi,
We can use anything, provided it's supported at uni. We've done a fair bit 
of C++, and know some HTML etc. It's just a case of how much easier it 
would be to use a new language to do it, or whether we should stick with 
what we know, even if it would be less efficient or more work.  The focus 
of the assessmet is on the project management.

The .ini file - do you mean to run several files after each other?

I do appreciate the help - thanks.

Caroline
