ADELAIDE - One of Australia's oldest and most respected girls' schools is
trying to get a better handle on the Internet.

According the Director of IT Geoff Perkins, the Walford Anglican School for
Girls wanted online reviews of recommended web sites available to 700
students and 120 staff over an intranet. The school was already heavily
invested in FileMaker Pro with 63 shared databases, 25 of those dedicated to
web based solutions. "I can't imagine life without Filemaker Pro," he says.

Perkins employed the CDML Master Class book by Brian Dunning for guidance
designing and building his system. "Training in CDML is not widespread,"
said Perkins. "To gain insights into how best to code web based solutions
has been well received by our coding personnel."

Beyond just the insight, Perkins also found that the book saved time and
money. "Lots of time saved by not having to work it out for ourselves. Great
to read it all clearly laid out for us." The CDML Master Class and its
companion book, Lasso Master Class, are both available online at
http:////www.briandunning.com/.

The completed web based solution allows staff and students to submit web
site reviews to the intranet and have those reviews available to the rest of
the staff and students. The database collects each web site's topic, key
words, title, suitability and the review of the site. Each review links to
the site reviewed.

"This is really doing something that we could not do without the
technology," says Perkins. "So successful has it been, we commence soon to
clone the solution for student presented book reviews."
