Discover the Magic of CSS

How to bridge your database / web content / shop towards an internet application with PHP and MySQL ?

Do you remember the time of tipex? And the first memory handling type writer? Can you recall your first document published on a remote server somewhere in cyberspace where everyone could access it? And how not so many years ago it seemed a kind of wild dream sometimes uttered at coffee breaks?

You might be consider putting your database on-line or publishing web content dynamically or even opening your virtual shop as something beyond your realms? Too complicated? Or too expensive and forcing you to be dependant ?

Well actually, you can make yet another quantum jump and undertake any of these steps with relative ease.

Whilst keeping it fairly simple and maintaining your independency.
Whilst continuing to use your favorite database program such as MS Access.
With technology that is reliable - cheap - fast & open source, and thus a true solution.

Take action now and contact us on this approach available in the form of a seminar, a course in your offices or in a development/coaching formula.

Transformational Self Management with the magical formula:
 ? + . = ! 

Beyond the trap of amazing theories offering little applicability, this workshop proposes to be a genuine invitation to practically work on the topic of self / organisational / world change.
Departing point is the fact that we create our own reality and how our day to day experience can be used as input for a better management of the one thing we definitely can change: ourselves - and how this process is both condition and trigger for changes on other levels.

A rather unusual - and perhaps somewhat 'revolutionary' - workshop with following focus points

• How can I be my own trainer/teacher?
• The creative use of questions in a transformational process
• 4 subjects for obtaining a master degree in self change management
• The art of setting goals and the different levels of objectives in the light of managing change
• Various experiences of the 'aha erlebnis' as an output and achievement, but also as an input flux for 'feed'-ing back.

Take action now, envisage something extra-ordinary and contact us for more information on this workshop.
