Hello,

I'm pretty new to programming, i've done some projects on school like building my own website with HTML, or making a few applets with javascript but i want to learn more languages!!!

I have an idea of an application that i would like to make but at this point i have absolutely no clue about what language(s) to pick:confused:. for example I don't know the pros and cons from most of the languages.

My question is if someone could make a list of all the pros and cons of the most used languages in web design and web application building.

also, maybe someone could give a sugestion on what language is the best to begin with after HTML and Javascript that is used to build web applications.

another question is if someone has got a good site where there are maybe some exercises to practice these languages.

I thank you, for reading this and maybe even posting a suggestion!!:love:

Well I personally recommend PHP for your first server side language. The hosting is cheap (some is free)and it is extremely easy to pick up.

keep in mind thou that there aren't many php jobs left a lot of places are moving to asp.net so if you are planning on trying to get a job soon you might want to go with .net

Here is a good place to get started PHP Tutorial <-click

.:: Welcome to CodeCall ::.

w3schools.com, maybe.
I learn web programming myself from there. Easy to learn, many examples, and has online editor. After HTML, I think you can learn CSS to style your website.

I am building my website with Run BASIC now, so I don't need learn PHP, enough HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. But, many hosting don't support this language up to now. You should use VPS anyway.
