Im just curious to know , which is the programming language behind the following websites.if u know anyone/all of them please buzz. 1- ebay.com 2- amazon.com 3- msn.com ( i assume asp.net) 4- yahoo.com 5- google.com
Usually larger sites like these interact with a numerous amount of technologies (perl, php . . . etc). It would be hard to define one language for all the sites you have listed. Use #5, i'm sure you can dig up some information on their backends
i forget where, but i *just* saw an article that yahoo is using at least php (webdeveloper plugin for ff also tells me they have javascript errors on their news page )
To be honest it is a fairly mute question.... whilst many do now use .Net as their core programming there are so many elements such as caching that are handled by blackbox solutions that the programming of the actual site itself becomes fairly irrelevant. There is a reasonable article on the back end of MySpace and how it has evolved from ColdFusion on a couple of dedicated servers to its current .Net deployment including all the additional services such as caching servers etc.
