Here is a question. I need some advice and direction.

I was asked me to build and event calendar for my department. Where the users can view, add, delete and
modify events.

This gave me the idea of using ASP and SQL the user can go to a URL and access a home page where they will be able to login as an operator and then maintain an SQL DB.

I am capable of designing and coding the site and pages. That is not what
I worried about. But here is where my problem arises. I was trying to ask
my supervisor the other day but I was confused myself.

I need to have an understanding of how to set this process. I will have to
report to my supervisor to explain to him how this can happen. So they can
help me get this project rolling

I guess what I am asking is how do you set up something like this.

I need an SQL DB, but where do I create it…like on a webserver or SQL
server???

I need to have a folder to store my ASP files…how is
that done and where it stored? And exactly what type of folder? ( I mean
I can create any folder, but my ASP is only viewable when I store the files
in a certain type of folder)

I need to have a place to view the pages like a URL but do I need a certain URL that will allow users to view the ASP …..how can I get something like this.??? I know in our home office they
have a webserver that hosts our URL but do I just ask their webmaster for some space on there? And if I do what
exactly do I need him to do? I guess this is where he can give me a folder and then I can upload files there…

Can you recommend any books where I can read up on this or just sort of
give me an idea and then I can talk with my supervisor and the webmaster in
reading and get this started…

Thanks so much in advance
