    <p>I asked this the other day but it was closed, probably because I have a tendency to ramble so I'll get straight to the question.</p> <p>I've written programs before so I'm not looking for an introduction to programming.</p> <p>I was wondering if anyone had a good site/article/book that they think would be a good introduction to designing a server application.</p> <p>The server will be a linux based amazon ec2 server with apache. I would prefer to use python, I know Java as well though if you think that would be a better programming language for server technology. It will be accessed over the internet via a web browser. </p> <p>Again, does anyone know of a good site/article/book that they think would be a good introduction to designing a server application?</p> <p>**Edit</p> <p>The end application will be for use with a web browser to access via ajax to return information from a database/maintain a database and add/delete files from the server. Right now though I'm just looking to write a simple app that will take an ajax call, do something simple with it, and return the manipulated data.</p> <p>**Edit</p> <p>For starters I would like to just integrate with a static HTML page that uses javascript to ajax and update the HTML. Later I'll move onto creating the pages dynamically based on database information and templates with ajax calls to have the server update a database when I get more comfortable.</p> <p>**Final Edit</p> <p>Ok, for all the people who voted to close this. Where in your mind is "where is a good place to start learning to write a server application" not a straightforward or vague question? Seriously it isn't vague or unanswerable. The only way it would be overly broad is if you assume that when I ask about learning how to write a server application you are assuming that I already have a working knowledge of how server applications work and just left out what should be assumed to your elite hacker mind as given. To summarize, you had to learn about server application theory somewhere. All I'm asking is where (outside of school) and how can I learn the same thing.</p> <p>Outside of those guys thank you all for providing the information I was looking for. It changed my thinking about how applications run on servers and gave me some insights.</p>

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
