which language is the best for website design/programming?

just want to know which one I should learn. Could you point me to some websites or books that will help me learn that language. Dont point me to any books or websites that give you just the codes, I WANT TO LEARN HOW TO CREATE THOSE CODES.

THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!
 
are you looking to write/design the actual web page or code to do something behind the scenes? if you want to design the web page that is written in HTML/XHMTL and CSS. Not sure where to send you to start to learn those but the HTML/XHTML is what you would want to learn first
 
As stevf mentioned, what exactly are you trying to learn? It's pretty broad area. Do you want to make the visual webpages? Or the logic that runs on the server to handle the data? Or design/work with the database that stores your information?

http://www.w3schools.com/ is a good place to start. Just read through each tutorial. Start with HTML, then Javascript, then pick a Server scripting language that suits what you want to do.

And then he realized he should say something helpful to the OP... well, as everyone else said, it's a broad area. Are you more interested in the visual aspects of designing and laying out pages, or the programming aspects of coding on the client and server to make them do what you want?

Btw, I'm rather lazy.
 
I dont really care about the visuals on the website right now, I care about the programming aspects of coding on the client. I want to know how to program so I can create websites that are user friendly .I know the basics of html. Right now I'm trying to learn some asp.net in visual basic. But is it the best?
 
First learn to program, I mean really program. It will make you better for it. Then just find a language you like and use it. Python, Ruby, ASP, ASP.net, PHP, Perl, PL/SQL, etc all work fine. In terms of what employers look for, stick to PHP and ASP.net. But if you no how to really program, the language doesn't matter all that much.

umm....it never was.

I do not recall at any point of time where ASP has had a monopoly on websites.

No techology has had a monopoly since sometime around 1992 or 1993 🙂. ASP.Net 2.0 is very strong in corporate development. In a 2005 survey more than half of Fortune 1000 websites were served by IIS running ASP.Net 2.0, and I believe that share has grown. I think you'd see things skew the other way when looking at social networking, file sharing, media sites, etc. It's great to have so many solid platform choices.

If MS has anything going for them, it's the top-to-bottom integration of .Net, the CLR, and the langauges that ride on it. You can write everything from Windows services to front-end visual media content using the same syntax and the same technology stack. About the only piece they don't have covered is drivers. I'm one who thinks Silverlight is going to give Flash a real run for its money over time, for that same reason. People who already know .Net and have explored XAML can get a copy of Blend and dive right in. Same language tools top to bottom. That's pretty potent.

I just wish they would develop a small, modular version of Windows server with a plug-n-play GUI, maybe even do their own Linux distro and write a complete CLR/.Net layer for it. Give the OS away and sell dev tools and Office for it. If they did that they would rule the universe.

MS with their own Linux distro?

Are you high?

And I certainly hope that MS will never rule the universe. I like having choice.

Well, the linux comment was tongue in cheek, but they do need a modular server platform that is much tighter than server 2003, and Linux is already there.

Guess I'll just use whatever is already there 😉

As for the modular server platform....I'm thinking when pigs fly?
 
i actually like coding in CFML on Bluedragon.

Bluedragon is free and even has a more robust version that allows you to write CFML and ASP within the same document, all while sharing session state. pretty nifty imho

CFML, in comparison to ASP and PHP, is a much cleaner language to write in and is just as powerful.

Bluedragon supports CFML up to CFMX-7.

Check it out.

Myspace actually runs on bluedragon...

I was a cold fusion developer for 5 years before jumping ship and switching to php.
Cleaner, yes - because its tag based.
just as powerfull....ehhhhh
it certainly has its strong points and is very powerful...but its not as powerful and flexible as php
its development time might still be less though!
 
cudzich09, just stick with your asp.net for now. If you're already doing it now, just learn it better along with other aspects of web development (HTML, JS, CSS). You have plenty of time to learn something else. I gave you a link in my post, it's a nice website. I initially learned ASP a long time ago just because a friend has it on his desk and I asked to borrow it. It sat on my desk for a couple of months before I got the motivation again to read it. Not that it wasn't good to learn it, but it does take time and dedication.

The most important part is to have a project and the desire to see it work.
