What programming language should I know?

Question

I know a little C++ and CSS, and a lot of HTML. I want to be able to make fully functional web pages. What programming languages and codes should I know if I want to be able to make them from scratch. Do I even want to know a programming language or should I just use a program to create the pages for me. What program would that be. I'm not concerned with taking the time to learn the languages I just want to know what would be the most efficient way to create a webpage without sifting through a ton of useless knowledge.

Answer 1

You have several choices. ASP, ASP.NET, PHP, JSP are some languages which you can use for creating web applications. PHP is very easy to learn na dis recommended for simpler web application. ASP.NET is a hot and powerful technology. You need to know either C# or VB.NET to program in ASP.NET. Since you already have knowledge in C++, it would be easy for you to learn C# because the programming style is same as C++. I recommend you go for ASP.NET with C#.

Answer 2

He might be trying to say that you need to learn programming techniques and logic, rather than languages. This really is important, too. For instance, being able to hold a conversation in 15 human languages doesn't mean you can write an outstanding work of literature in any of them; and a really well written program is much like a really well written book, in that it needs to have many parts that fit together in non-obvious but effective ways.
