- Database implementation (SQL),
- Web user interface construction [(X)HTML],
- Calling a CGI script (Unix shell),
- Calling a CGI script (Perl),
- Database accessing embedded in Java host language (JDBC), and
- Testing the exercise thoroughly.
- Advantages: It is powerful and flexible and has no problems implementing most web applications.
- Disadvantages: Primitive tools are used in this approach. Therefore, advanced programming skills are required.
