Hey guys I have a question for normal sites what kind of coding do you use besides the regular HTML, and CSS I realize for logins and forums etc.. php is common and the language of choice for database interaction but besides that for more cosmetic appealing appearence do you use anything else? Im asking this question cause im thinking of learning Java but im not sure how much that would help my web site design skills. And if thats not the one(in your opinon) to learn if I want to get better at website coding which one is? I have a shallow knowledge of VB and C++ but coudl deffenetly use some more help in that area however those languages also dint seem to have to much use in the Web Design world.

I use xhtml, css, and php. I use some Javascript codes, but I'm not that familiar with it. PHP is pretty awesome =)

It all really depends on the site and my mood lol...
I usually just use xhtml / css with some javascripts and a little php thrown in there, but sometimes I make the sites with a lot more php. I've been known to do some coding is asp, though I'm not that comfortable with it, so that doesn't usually happen, unless I'm working with someone else's code that was already written in that language. I was working with actionscript yesterday, but because I was doing something in flash. So I don't know if that counts I'm sure Java could do somethings in websites that are okay. I've seen it used in certain applets and things on sites. Though I did get a little training in it, I never learned anything deep enough into the language that it could have been of any use on my websites. We were just using that language as an introduction to programming. Anyone else do much in the lines of Java in their websites? |

It depends on what your site needs. If you don't need PHP, don't use it. IF you do, however, you have to use it. But don't use PHP where you don't need it, as it can slow things down unnecessarily. And other stuff.
 I usually use XHTML/CSS/someJavascript/PHP/MySQL as necessary. |

You can use c and c++ to program serverside CGI programs and your vb knowlege will make it easier to program ASP and VB Script.
I use HTML/XML/CSS/JavaScript/PHP/ASP/XHTML/VBScript/ASP.NET |

QUOTE(zach101 @ Jul 12 2006, 06:54 AM)  Alright thanks a bunch guys its interesting to know just what all the other programmers out there are using. I just recently got a book on Java and one on CSS so I can further understand CSS better. Java wouldn't be the most efficient or worth-time language to learn, especially if you are talking cosmetically. A great language for cosmetic effects(if not taken too far) is Flash(not neccessarily a language, but you get my point.) Generally, still cosmetically speaking, the main languages will be HTML, CSS, JS, and Flash. And, to tell the truth, you really don't need to try any other off-color language for cosmetics. The previous mentioned languages should offer more than enough. This post has been edited by pb-gnat: Jul 13 2006, 05:23 AM |
