I have a lot of ideas for programs I want to make a website out of, but I do not have the programming knowledge. What language would you guys recommend is best for anything web based?
Thread #9178 on DP asking the same question just this week. If you don't know how to use Google, you can't learn programming.
PHP is the most popular web programming (so there are plenty resources), and relative easy to learn. but in the long run you'll need something more the just web apps, so you can have a look on ruby or python too.
Absolutely false! Java is though PHP is up there. PHP can do the same things ruby and python can do so you don't need one over the other.
I suggest you first get familiar with HTML and CSS, because they are the most basic. Here are two links which can help you in your search: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=learn+HTML http://lmgtfy.com/?q=learn+CSS Code (markup): This will give you enough material to study for a while
Learn HTML, CSS & PHP. These three combined can give awesome results. Also learn Javascript, if you can.
i appreciate your ideas on programming before starting you should have some basics of C language and HTML then go for java script and PHP which is very useful to you for making good web sites and if you became perfect in this then you can go for C# with ASP
Right now, there are 3 threads asking the same identical question in the top four threads listed. DP brainiacs at their best!
hello dear before you start designing you web site you should know some basic of programming in c and then learn HTML and java script then you can easly use dreamweaver software for easy creation of sites
I fail to see why you would recommend him to learn basic programming in C if he has an interest in Web Design.... That makes no sense. I would suggest him to learn the basics of HTML. Then move on to the basics of CSS and JavaScript. Then start with PHP. If he wants to take his programming to a higher level then he can consider C/C++, C#, Visual Basic, Java, ..., etc. To me it seems like HTML, CSS/JS, and PHP is more than fine for him...
The clueless DP 'experts' never let a thread die, especially threads that should have never been started in the first place.
People...look at his question.. it's "I have a lot of ideas for programs I want to make a website out of, but I do not have the programming knowledge." There's no need for him to learn C/C++. HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP is MORE than enough.
