I have I have been assigned to make a website for my job. The user fills out forms then it needs to create a new page(or entry) each time, so each is unique. These pages will need to be viewed by others through a link. I don't know which language to look into, php, ajax java script? And where to go from there.

To start off simply, you will need to write it in PHP.

PHP is not only one of the best supported languages, it's also free.

MySQL will also be required for such a project in most cases.



AJAX and JavaScript are used to make things more fancy, but if you're asking these questions, you don't really need to worry about that yet until you're more experienced with the rest as they can be a nightmare if you don't know them well.



As for hosting I would recommend http://www.hostmonsterplus.com as they support PHP, MySQL and all the technologies you'll need at a reasonable rate. They'll also provide a free domain name (.com, .net, ...) for as long as you're hosted with them. (This is who I have been using for my hosting for 2 years now)



Before you start getting too involved in your project make sure you read a couple of articles about "SQL Injection" so that you don't put any common security holes in your site. (Half the battle is knowing that SQL Injection exists.)



If you have any more questions feel free to PM me and ask.

Part of it depends on the server that will be hosting this site.



If it's a LAMP ( Linux Apache Mysql PHP) solution then you should learn with PHP and mysql.



It it's a Microsoft bases solution then probably ASP and .NET programing, with either SQL server or MS Access.



As far as ajax is basically just a creative way to use java script so the webpage doesn't have to completely reload in order to present new content.



Java script could be helpful for make the page more user freindly but isn't necessary for a basic system like you're describing.

The observe 'dynamic' has a particular meaning while it comprises programming languages; i think of what you're finding for is the main versatile language. yet there is not any one single language this is often the wonderful suited one for each utility --that's strictly why there are such a lot of programming languages! once you're approximately to benefit programming this might look daunting, however the fact of the difficulty is: each and each language belongs to a particular, small team of languages and after having found out one language from a team, different languages in that comparable team are in many circumstances a breeze to benefit. (that's why a exceptional college will instruct you programming language recommendations extremely than languages.) finding at your record of examples, i might say that that's recommended to contemplate discovering C first. it relatively is not the least complicated language besides the undeniable fact that it relatively is relatively small and it has many makes use of. C++ must be next, and on the area you need to benefit database layout and sq., Oh, and that's recommended to look into OpenGL. listed below are some books that i will advise:

As you may know a domain name is just a name, not a real website. If you are going to create your website: 1- Buy a domain name. To get a domain name, you have to pay an annual fee to a registrar for the right to use that name. 2- Buy a web hosting service to provide your online space and enable you to get your website online at your purchased domain name.



To get further information take a look at: http://www.threehosts.com/build



You need a web hosting service which supports online payments like, Master Card, Visa & PayPal. It is very important that your service be uptime. It means that you can access your account whenever you want to update your web pages, and your visitors can view your website whenever they type your website address. If your hosting service is not uptime it is real hell!



If you want to start your website I recommend purchase your domain and hosting together. In this way it is possible to get your domain for free. Some hosting services offer this gift today.



If you want to run a successful e-commerce you must choose a reliable web hosting service. The security of your business directly depends on the security of your hosting service. (Hacker safe)



Take a look at: http://www.threehosts.com/business



There you can reach the three reputable companies that are leaders in the E-commerce web hosting industry. They fulfill all your requirements to sell online. By using each of them, everything you need for your business website is provided in one eCommerce Hosting Package.



Good Luck!

I would use ColdFusion. There is just nothing easier to build Web sites out there. ColdFusion is built in with JavaScript - AJAX, CSS functionality so you would only need to learn one language and as your needs and skill increase you can extended it.



ColdFusion could connect to any Database (DBMS) or even flat files e.g. excel spreadsheets. If you don't need to save that much data I would recommend SQLite then as your needs and skills increase you can then use a real DBMS like MySQL. Creating forms is easy, and as I suggested before CF would generate a basic set of JavaScript validation code for you.

have you done programming before ?if not , then u can hire a programmer if u don't have the time .

However, if u have enough time , u can learn PHP for now ( there are some as good solutions like ASP.Net and JSP but they make time to learn ).



U will use PHP for the logic of ur Website , MySQL to store the data for ur business, and HTML for the look and feel of ur Website



PHP is straight to the point when it comes to Web stuff :

For install :
