What I want to see is some sort of mathematics4science website where scientists can post mathematical problems whose solution would be helpful for said scientist’s research. For instance, I would love to contribute my research efforts to solving general classes of problems which arise from biology, but not having any background in biology I don’t know where to start. If someone could just tell me about some weirdly structured graphs or something, then I would be happy to take that on board and start studying it.

I need to learn how to make public access databases. Even if it’s just something as simple as POST / READ commands in html to access some files on my computer.

Can anyone provide resources on where to start?

What sort of data are you wanting to provide with these databases, and what sort of volume to traffic are you expecting to have to handle?

types of data: anything that can be described as numbers. Converting that data to/from numbers can probably be done client-side, I just need to be able to get a consistent stream of numbers. I can handle what those numbers represent, how they interact, and who has access to them from there.

Volume of traffic: probably just me and seven other people, depending on how many people use services like this. I occasionally create for the sake of creating, with no expectation of being useful. It’s not out of the question that I make something useful and it becomes more popular, but since I usually make things that run locally the only data I have in how useful they are is how often my friends ask for copies of the programs in question, which is probably only half of them.

My main goal is to be able to create something that can send/receive data to/from a website, then I can write client-side and server-side code to be able to handle that data. The problem is that I don’t understand communication between computers, or web hosting in general. I’m used to doing everything from on-machine files.

I guess I just want to know enough information to make a shitty social media site, and I can workshop it from there.
