When you develop a website, you would either choose to create a purely static site or purely dynamic site or quasi static, quasi dynamic site. So what actually is Static site and what actually is Dynamic Site?

Static Site
Static site is a web site that used HyperText Markup Language (HTML) to create. Every content is stored in a single .html file and is publised as it is. Most likely you could create a static page with any HTML authoring tool such as Macromedia Dreamweaver or Microsoft Frontpage. Below is what i think is the scenario that you would create a site as a static site:

• The page does not require “frequent” update such as about us, contact us page
• The page is meant to be informative only i.e. does not require any comment or feedback.
• If you need your site to be google friendly, create a static page would be the best choice.

Dynamic Site
Dynamic site, like the name implied, is created dynamically. Each page is created on the fly and get the content from the one of the powerful Relational Database Managment System (RDBMS). Although the powerful web authoring tool is available nowadays to develop dynamic site, chances are you will need to learn and master one of the serverside language such as PHP, Java or .NET platform. These server side programming languages need to interact with RDBMS (Relational DataBase Management System) in order to retrieve useful content to be displayed and hence knowledge of RDBMS and SQL is a must. Follow is a list to describe a scenario when you most likely need a dynamic site.

• The page requires “frequent” update such as news site
• e-commerce site i.e. the site with selling, buying capabilities
• The page requires interaction between users such as chat,feedback form etc

Although dynamic site is mostly search engine “unfriendly”, you could create a search engine friendly page by various method such as caching or mod rewrite also known as URL rewrite (only available for Apache Web Server).

We have seen the different between the static site and dynamic site. Decide wisely on which type of site to build, static or dynamic site.

Update: This article about me has been written since November 2004, just before my 2nd semester of my final year in Nanyang Technological University when i developed my 2nd flash site.

Currently, I am working as a contract Snr IT Analyst Programmer in Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore.

Hello All,
A warm welcome to Sokhodom.com. Sokhodom.com has evolved quite sometimes now along my knowledge and experience in web development.My first encounter with web development was in year 2002 November, during my sophomore year in Nanyang Technological University. It was a semester break but all second year students needed to undergo a 5 weeks intensive project training. Each team, comprised of around 20 students, were asked to developed some kind of engineering products (software or hardware). For my team, we were responsible to develop a courseware on Electromagnetic Course for our School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. After this 5 hectic week, I have started to prefer software to hardware and my strong desire to work on web development growed.

The first release of sokhodom.com was plain static website, released on May 06 2003. It was created to share some photos of our Khmer New Year that we celebrating. Whereas the second release was develop purely on Flash Sockwave, released on November 2004. The second release was created purposely to share my knowledge in Flash development. And now, the third release is a dynamic site created with the purpose of sharing the web development experience that i have as well as some interesting stuff for you to kill some time.

I hope you could find something to your interest at sokhodom.com.
