hi,

i'm thinking about making a website that allows students (from my university) to post books they want to sell so that others can buy the books cheaper than what they would have paid elsewhere.

the problem is, i have no experience in this kinda of stuff(i know a bit of html and flash).
should i set up the website like a forum? what kind of language should i use? what kind of software should i use?



thanks!
 
Here's the one from my university. All homegrown as far as I can tell. Now that I look, it's actually rather poorly designed, as too many pages are reached via POST which makes permalinking impossible and using the back button a royal pain. Other than that, though, you can see that it's dead simple. Looks like a single database table.

As for language (if you want to do it yourself), pick something from php, perl, python, ruby, java, asp, c#/asp.net, <your favourite language>
For software pick a webserver (apache, iis, thttpd, tomcat...) and a database (postgres, ingres, mysql, <proprietary database of choice>...).
