This weekend I tested that the MySQL part of the Dell server worked, and I ordered some books on PHP programming.
I have selected PHP as I have been advised by a colleague/PHP guru at work that PHP would be an ideal platform for my application.
The Dell server now has a new database on it called UG, where I have tested creating tables manually.
The books I have ordered from Amazon are:
