Programming Languages Run Down

3 replies
Ok so i had to make this account just to post this.

So if you really are wondering what language is better here is a list from to the top down and also how to learn them.

For Webdesign.


PHP is a must. Before you learn PHP you should learn HTML and CSS.

And MySQL for database structures

That is the minimum to create any website.

Javascript is just an addition to what is above. You do not need to learn it to use it most effects are made as plugins and as long as you know HTML and PHP you will have no issues implementing them.
ALso here are some tutorials ::::: thenewboston org

OK desktop software.

More or less if you need something simple i suggest using Adobe Flex. there tutorials are amazing. You can create almost anything with flex and hey now you can port them to ipad and android.
I would only use this if you make and application for a doctor or store to track inventory. You can connect flex to MySql so you can actually make the site in php and then a desktop inventory tracking in FLEX.

So that is about it.

These are the simplest programming languages you can learn to start.
From there you can go and learn what ever else you would like.

Learn the basics and then go advanced. Have fun.

O Press thanks if you found this helpful, and i don't see y you would not.

    The minimum to create a website is just plain HTML, of course. But ultimately, it just depends on what each person's goals are... if all they want to design are simple static sites (like the majority of squeeze pages and sales pages out there), then there's no real reason that they would need to learn PHP / MySQL, etc.

    And regarding your suggestion that Flex is the "simplest" desktop programming environment... I would have to disagree with you there. Flex / Flash is very powerful and no doubt a great choice for certain types of projects. But I wouldn't consider it anywhere near as "simple" to learn as something like VB or Python.

    My 2 cents.

    Welcome to the forum, BTW.

    i agree with you brandon,

    HTML sets you on track to develop simple webpages.

    PHP is by the way is for more flexible and dynamic sites.

    for desktop software I completely disagree . C++, C# and Java are much better than Flex
