What's the difference between all these coding languages?

Like say Oracle, SQL, MySQL, ASP, PHP, Perl, CGI, C++, VB.net

Where does each come into play? Is learning how to code databases better than learning how to code with C++?

What exactly is PHP/ASP used for? Is it used for things related to databases? How are the two different from say CSS/HTML?
 
Oracle, SQL, MySQL - databases
perl, php - scripting (small programs)
C++ - OOP, large programs.
 
Hey Nocturnal,

Best way to answer that is to direct you to helpful websites.

go to www.w3schools.com for info on ASP, SQL, PHP

go to www.wdvl.com for info on PHP, Perl, CGI

scroll down to databases, and it will also fill you in on using PHP, MySQL and there is a little bit about Oracle.

All of the above focus on web/database driven pages. C++ and VB.NET are hardcore programming languages.

These 2 sites are great, and provide lots of easy to understand in a easily readable way, i think.

You talked about a lot of different technologies and i just wanted you to figure out for yourself what they all were, so that you can pick what impresses you most, instead of being directed by one of us.

Hope it helps you.

AJ.
