Hello all,

Since many of you have experience in creating a website, I was wondering if anyone could tell me what language (or languages) I need to learn to create a website? Thanks!

HTML is the backbone, but these days, one does not really need to "know" it. Being familiar with HTML, though, is useful.

PHP is a very popular one programming language for web pages, and definitely one you want to learn if doing web-related stuff.

(X)HTML + PHP + SQL + CSS should do the trick for a nice website. Bonusses include Javascript, JQuery and AJAX

You can however just opt to use a CMS such as Drupal or Joomla.

I'm a fan of ASP.NET but purely because i'm a CLR fanboy.

There are 10 types of people in this world - Those who understand Binary and those who don't.

Yeah, but ASP sucks balls. Also how can you be a CLR fanboy? Yay omgz i got machine codez from mah byte codez!!! Are you sure don't mean CIL fanboy? Although it still doesn't make a lot of sense, maybe .NET fanboy? Tongue

Also MVC will teach you how to make websites without feeling dirty, pretty easy to do when you are coding in PHP as it has messy string handling features. Almost every webhost can only run straight PHP, so you are mostly stuck with that unfortunately.

Nah fanboy is a loose term. I just really enjoy playing around with using the CLR at the moment. I've been messing around a lot with loading the CLR into a program to handle code. Tongue I do like IL but i prefer working through the CLR.
