    You want to learn programming and build Marketing tools, Right?
    Ok would these tools be web-based solutions or desktop applications?

    For web-based tools, aka scripts, you may start learning PHP and
    do all code there...Easy to learn and fast to deploy, much code is already
    available online as open source to help you develop your tool fast....

    For Desktop applications for a new programmer I suggest VB..
    Just download
    Get Visual Studio Downloads on MSDN and start testing...

    Which programming language do you want to learn? If you want to go for web development then you should go for asp.net or PHP

    PHP => Start at W3schools.Com
    ASP.NET => Start at W3Schools.Com

    PHP seems to be an ever popular choice and seems simple enough to learn but once I got started in it I became confused. I am trying to use W3Schools to learn the PHP I need to do a few simple things and it seems much more simple than the other suggestions I received. I do already know HTML some and that seems to help me out a bit. Persistance seems to be the key for me.

      As an experienced builder, I can tell you, bottom line:


      Web Based = php. Don't try to do marketing apps on the web with anything else, you'll waste time.


      For Destkop based, C#. It's just as easy as Visual basic, but more powerful, and faster. I build the majority of my desktop apps with this, and it's free to develop with Visual Studio Express Edition.

        If you are a beginner then first choose a language that makes you strong in basics afterward you can switch to some web developing languages and tools.For beginners i recommend C or CPP .Then you can either use JSP or ASP.NET but ASP.NET is more suited

    Web-based in my opinion is the best, go with PHP

    Get basics from w3schools.com or tizag.com

    You will probably need to learn cURL, Google "cURL PHP" for that

      That's true, PHP is highly recommended. If you want to become pro from beginning, I would recommend to install linux - ubuntu and to spend some time for it's basic comands. Then install apache / PHP MySQL on Ubuntu and read some tutorials in PHP, you will be probably thrown to the html and CSS later. PHP based application are powerful and there is much more free documentation. Don't loose your time with ASP

      Good luck

    You can also use xampp and run a server on your computer to test your programs before you go live.

    Yes, php is great for web applications. It's best to start with very basic functions and work up from there. If you dedicate even an hour or two a day to learn php you'd be suprised what you can achieve even after a week or two.

    With regards to cURL, I wouldn't worry about that yet. That is used really to extract data from other sites and can be really handy but it's not essential for all tasks / apps.

    Php also works well with mysql so you can build dynamic database driven websites.

    Programming is very very addictive. It really can turn your ideas into reality.

    You will find yourself pulling your hair out at times, especially in the early days. I have been stuck on a script for hours literally shouting at the screen. Lol. But you get an overwhelming sense of achievement when you get something working.

    Get stuck into it, you won't regret it.
