MMOB - Lend Me Your Tech Knowledge

[leeberthamilton]

I have been reading along and learning a lot. And now after reviewing a few ideas with a few friends, now probable partners, we have come up with some ideas.

Now, as I know most of you have web design, and webApp experience we are asking for your help.

We have come up with a few ideas. Two of which will be basically blogs with some adsense thrown in. I have read some other things at Wickedfire, and we may look into other sources of revenue.

Our other idea is a much larger project. Basically, we are looking to use a database for movies and other such ideas. And basically we want users to write reviews and offer comments. And this is where we are lost.

I have been trying to read up on MySQL and PHP, but I'm not sure I have found the proper solution. Basically, what we need is a database, and then have a user login system so that users can create a basic profile, and write reviews.

So, basically do any of you guys have experience in creating this sort of site?

If so do you have any ideas what we can do to solve the problem? Any places to find someone to do this kind of work? Freelance or anything of the such?

Finally, do you have any books or anything that I can read to find out about this kind of information? Or perhaps other posts online?

Thanks a lot for your help in moving me further up the contributors to this forum.
