I am using "Articulator Presenter" for my presentation (driver education course). However, with the event of iPhone, iPad, iTab and iWhatever, I think it is time to rewrite everything (the presentation which includes text, links, audio and videos) in php. Before I waste a years worth of work, I thought I should get some advise from some experts I can trust. That obviously excludes Miscrosoft.
Thank you so much for your input!
Well, HTML5 has audio and video tags, so perhaps it is time to do something like that. Not some how much PHP you'd need; obviously, things like sessions/security, control panels, automatic paging, perhaps ...
Appreciate your input. Let's see what some others have to say before I make a decision.
With such a limited amount of information, the information you'll receive will go anywhere from: Convert audio/video to YouTube/Vimeo videos to, use something like slidehsare to provide a powerpoint-like experience. You could easily embed these objects on any webpage.
On the flip side, if you're looking to put these elements in the form of study-guides or tests, you may need PHP, but could also possibly get away with pure HTML pages.
Where PHP, and many other server-side languages, show their power is in dealing with data submitted that holds its state across page loads. You can achieve this same effect with purely javascript implementations; however, they are limited in the amount of data that can be held, and typically what's held in the users session is a limited amount of data; whereas, if you host your own database, you can store much more data without impacting performance.
So your question of moving from a presentation to web-based is very broad. If you give us more details in what you're trying to achieve, other than supporting "i" devices, we could potentially give you a better nudge in the proper direction.
