should i learn C or C++(comp.language) first before starting web desiging course?

Question

I'm planning to start my web designing course in next month. But some of my friends told me that first learn C or C++(comp. language) then go for web designing so it will become very easier for me to learn web designing later because it includes some of codings/comp language with HTML XHTML PHP so my basic concepts are already clear with language course

Answer 1

No, not necessarily. Some environments allow coding in visual basic as back-end. So it is not compulsory!

BUT, IT IS BEST FOR YOU TO LEARN C AND C++ IF YOU WANT TO BE A WEB DEVELOPER!!



Microsoft Visual Studio offers an environment where you can use visual c++ or c sharp (c#) as back-end and use drag n drop for front end text boxes and buttons. So, If you have time, go for it.



You can refer to this blog if you want to learn C++ from the scratch. And you might as well ask questions/ doubts that you encounter.

Web design has very little use for C these days. Once upon a time, CGI functions were used for server-side processing, and these were sometimes written in C. No more. PHP and ASP are the major tools on the server side.



On the client side, HTML/XHTML plus CSS are the major tools for markup and presentation, with Javascript as the major tool for client side processing. Animation and special effects are done mostly with Flash or Silverlight, but HTML5 offers some more web-standard options for many things that used to be done strictly with add-on technology like Flash/Silverlight.



If you want to learn a general purpose programming language to get a feel for programming, consider Java instead. Not only is it a more modern language than C, but it also has some use in web applications. Java applets were the technology that Flash superseded, but they still find use today.

Answer 3

Wow you people are retarded. NO you don't need to learn either for web programming. If you want to learn web programming learn one of these: asp.net w/ c#, php, java. Then learn all of these: html, css, javascript (or just how to use jquery), SQL.



You'll be golden



If you plan on sticking with web design there is no need to learn c, or c++. At all.



C++ is one of the hardest high-level languages out there. So do you want to learn the hardest first, and work your way down, or easier ones and work your way up? Also, C++ backends on websites are very uncommon; whereas a similar language like java (c++ and java are more closely related than c and c++ is even though c++ is derived from c) is not only used for standalone applications(kind of, if you're not counting jvm) , but also can be branched into a vast array of webservices like servlets, and jsp

Answer 4

Neither C nor C++ is a necessary prerequisite for learning Web design.



HTML is a mark-up language and is nothing like a programming language. PHP Is a programming language but it is very different from C or C++. PHP is handy to know for Web design, but C and C++ are not (unless you plan to write server-side CGI scripts, but that is fairly advanced for a beginner and it isn't usually essential for simple Web sites).

Answer 5

No, you don't need c/c++ starting out. There may come a time that you will need it for some web site. But at this time, concentrate on learning HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, Sql scripting. That will take you far.



I do use c++ in some of the web sites I produce, they are more of a continuous running background program performing heavy data calculation.

Answer 6

I recommonds CPP before Java. Because C have no connection with Java. Both Java and CPP are Object Oriented Programming language. But C is Proceidural Oriented language. Also you can learn Java before learning any other language. I studied Java after C. There is no connection with C and Java. But CPP is similiar to Java. The main thing is OOP. Creating classes and using objects are main things in Java. I recommonds to read "Java How to Program" by Dietel Publications. You can learn Java easily. There won't be any problem start Java directly. Because studying CPP before Java is same like studying Java. Your dedication will be controle how easy or how worst it is.

Answer 7

If your starting Html or HTML5 or CSS or CSS3 then you may not need to learn C or C++, for getting a fresh start go to w3schools.com it teaches Html, Html5, Javascript, Css, Css3, XML,DHTML and many more languages and tells you the requirements for learning and understanding these languages.

Answer 8

at first you should decide what you want do.C++ HTML XHTML PHP is not same but there have a relation on e with another.if you want to start from HTML you can take help from w3schools. and then take another steps to advance.

Answer 10

What is your background?

What is your interest?

C is needed to orient your self to programming. You cant get jobs just by doing C.

However C may be needed to feel of the computers.

I can advise based on your background.

Do read the following elementary books
