Web Programming Language similar to C++

Hey guys,

I just finished a class in C++ and was curious if there are any web programming languages that are similar to C++, so it will be easier to get a head start on. Look forward to hearing and happy holidays.

Well, Java can be used for web applications but I suggest that you start learning php...

p.l.u.r.

 

Also, C# is based off of C++ and can be used with ASP.NET

 

I had a class in C/C++, which I really didn't learn anything in it (just basic syntax).

It took me less than a week to start programming in PHP.

After learning PHP, everything else (Perl+Bash+CGI) were a piece of cake.

Peace,

 

Of course, there's nothing stopping you doing CGI applications in C++... there's just not as much 'community support' for doing it, but it's definitely possible.

As other posters have suggested I'd look at Java, C# or PHP (in order of a combination of preference and C++ likeness).

 

I would recommend PHP, mostly because its so widely accepted and theres so much support and help available for it for free on forums and stuff.

 

Sweet. Thanks guys. I will look into PHP first. BTW, how is Ruby? Ruby and Rails looks pretty sweet

 

It looks cool but I don't like the way you have to think with ruby... and the syntax...

p.l.u.r.

 

I would say PHP is the easiest, I mean most everything has basically been written for it.

C++ has a special place for me though, it was my first language.

 

PHP, Perl, JSP will do the trick. They all have C++ based syntax.
ASP.NET tech is not so good, IMHO. Too much rubbish, though for intranet apps it's allright.

 

If you learned MS and Windows version of C++, then C#/.NET is probably the best platform to use. Familiar IDE, easy to set up.
If your C++ had some Unix flavor, then go for Java. Last time I checked, Eclipse had pretty good IDE for developing JSP and other Java-based web apps.
Also, if you are planning to sell web apps to others, then protecting your PHP source code may be a little tricky if possible at all. It's an interpreted language, and you'll have to deploy the source code with your project.
With C# and Java you can deploy precompiled modules and keep the source code for yourself.
Ah, and C# experience looks pretty good on a resume too

 

You can use some sort of PHP obfuscator for the release code.

 

... or use bytecode compilers / encrypters like ionCube (although I do use and recommend an obfuscator that I wrote).

 

as they said before me, PHP is like C ( curly brackets language ). Latest versions of PHP added objects, so you can choose object programming aproach ( C++ like ).

 

yaa!
you can stat c#.it is very similar to c++ & security as like java.
c# is full OOP concept. c# have great market in web development..

 

PHP has also OOP concept....and easy to learn if u know C/C++
You can also go for C#.Net that is also more nearer to C++

 

dont go with PHP..its a limited area of programming....but u should go with C#........u have to area of expantion with C#...Either u can program in C#.Net which is used in ASP.Net Scripting lang too Or u can have java option too...it is quit case sensitive.but good....Depends on in which lan u graspping & interest more...

 

Many languages : Java, PHP, C# have as its ancestor C++ and are more suitable for web programming. PHP is most common in small internet servers. There are a lot of scripts for PHP. Java and C# are less common and hosting is more expensive. Java has huge libraries for many different things.
