How to notify of news on a website? [closed]

I am new to web programming and for academic reasons I designed a web page for a teacher, which is a site to host the notes for certain students who study the subject, but he told me that if it was possible to notify the students when make changes to the page, that is, upload notes or report activities or outstanding information, then how could you do it? check on RSS but the students should follow the rss of the content and download readers in case of not having firefox but I would like a simpler way, I thought of some kind of form for subscribers with a database and then send an email to all the destinations, I really do not know which method to use, which suggest me, I do not want to give me code just to guide me ...

Developing the idea you have in mind is not a simple task. Requires as you have said essentially a database to accommodate students and their information (such as email), exams that the teacher uploads. Then you need a server that does certain tasks:

  • Connect to the database
  • Respond to a request in which the teacher adds an exam
  • Once the exam has been added, in the same request, look for all the students who are concerned about that exam (as an example I can think of a field in the student's bdd that is called "course") and use a transportation service SMTP to send an e-mail to each student.

    • In my humble and ignorant opinion I recommend you to learn Node.js y Express (basically because it is the only framework I have used for the development of web applications) and you can do things like the ones you mention. Keep in mind that what you are asking is very general and may give rise to different answers, but I think that my recommendation is a good starting point. At least it has been for me. Regards! =)
