Web Design and Process Control

[justint]

Hi

I work with PLC and SCADA applications.
Reacently we have been looking at monitoring our systems remotely, changing and monitoring variables via SMS, remote access to HMI etc.

I have been thinking strongly about making a web page that would allow me to display and alter variables from any computer with an internet interface.

However, I do not have much experience with Web Page design.
I was speaking to a friend today who mentioned he was also thinking about learning more about web design for clubs etc using a software package called Dream Weaver.

My question is, has anyone any experience of this or any other such software packages that I shold look into.

I will need to have access to the scripting etc that drives the web page in order to interface with various engineering parameters that I hope to read and change via different communications methods (FTP, broadband connection, GPRS/3G conection etc).

Thanks

Justin

justint,

Learn HTML. Here is a good place to start. Read through the standard.

Coding HTML from a text editor is dead easy, probably easier than learning a lot of applications that generate HTML. Once you can code HTML, you can write programs that generate HTML pages. Your web page interface should be easy.
