I fell in love immediately, took great pride in working w\/ a San Francisco-created tool ;-D &#8230;  and eventually learned how to create database-driven sites, such as the 2009 year-end photo gallery in these screenshots:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"999\" height=\"687\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trailhead.ch\/viv-wuarchoz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2009_DW.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trailhead.ch\/viv-wuarchoz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2009_DW.jpg 999w, https:\/\/www.trailhead.ch\/viv-wuarchoz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2009_DW-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.trailhead.ch\/viv-wuarchoz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2009_DW-768x528.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 999px) 100vw, 999px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Home-made splash page called backend table to display records using PHP script.
