Thanks in advance

What is the best web development programming language would you recommend.?
I prefer PHP but ASP.net is better I hear. I use PHP solely for the purpose of server processing. (Input -%26gt; Process -%26gt; Output [yay]).





If you want an interactive site then develop it using Macromedia Flash. Flash is easier to learn and faster.





If you want a pure static site with no processing needed then you could use just HTML which is not considered a programming language.





Java is also a good development tool because it has many functionalities and libraries to choose from. It is, however, slower than Flash but more manipulatable (you can do more with it). This means that it can be more safe and stable than Flash.
Reply:ASP No!!!! far from being best. Argh! Evil technology.


ASP.NET... not bad, especially if you're talking about the latest version.





Php is used a lot but I can't recommend it yet... probably a good one to know. I fear that it may be a little to much like ASP however.





And also, its best if you did know some javascript as (unless you use flash or Java applets) this is what defines the client's interaction with your site. Especially since many sites are becoming more and more dynamic with AJAX (which is not a language but a javascript related technology/Buzzword).
Reply:Flash based website is cool. try macromedia flash. actionscripts as well

Reply:I would agree that ASP.NET is the way to go. I would recommend studying up on VB.NETor C#.NET to build the applications, ASP.NET is just the interface technology... akin perhaps to CGI/PERL in it's part in "development". It's a go-between. The real application development comes from VB or C# .NET stuff.





Diane Zak writes a decent book under the Thompson Learning Series Label, titled VB.NET 2005. It covers application development and the ASP.NET interchange between MS SQL Server or Access and the front end VB application. It's somewhere around Chapter 12 that it gets into ASP.NET.





Hope that helps.
