| 358841 | 2005-05-27 06:08:00 | I can design web pages in xhtml and css all right now and I want to move up a bit but I am just really lost as to what I should learn next. I don't know javascript but I'm not that bothered with browser side scripts. I'm looking at perl/cgi/php/mysql but I don't know what I'd need to learn and what each does and what would be best to learn. | ad_267 (6193) | ||

| 358843 | 2005-05-27 07:09:00 | PHP sounds good, I'm kind of leaning in that direction but I'm not sure of uses of the different languages and what kind of pages you can make with them. Do you need to know perl and cgi for forms? | ad_267 (6193) | ||

Do you need to know perl and cgi for forms? you dont realy have to know any script for forms you can just download one off the net there are lots of free ones (search google) |

| 358845 | 2005-05-27 09:13:00 | I'd dabble with PHP first, especially make sure you know how to secure PHP scripts properly. Have a look at example PHP scripts and try to understand them. Have a look at the PHP functions/classes that are available, so you won't try reinventing the wheel. The book "Programming PHP" by O'Reilly is a good book to get hold of. Having figured out how PHP works then learn up on MySQL (or even Postgresql) and learn how the databases fit into dynamic web pages. There is a bit of learning curve in there if you haven't used SQL much. Then maybe you can have a crack at Perl. |

| 358846 | 2005-05-27 09:24:00 | OK PHP sounds like a good start. Would I need to learn Perl after PHP, does Perl do anything more? | ad_267 (6193) | ||
| 358847 | 2005-05-27 09:42:00 | If you dont want to spend ages learning scripting, use ASP (Runs on windows is IIS) Its all i use, and i wouldnt change Daniel |

| 358848 | 2005-05-27 10:29:00 | php is similar to C++, so a good foothold for that | Edward (31) | ||
| 358849 | 2005-05-27 11:43:00 | php is good | mejobloggs (264) | ||
| 358850 | 2005-05-27 13:01:00 | I was facing the decision. I am now learning PHP and MySQL at the same time. That is all that I need PHP and MySQL for - so I can use one with the other. I did take a detour in content management apps, apache and e-commerce. You can learn both from on-line manuals, but a book manual is preferable. The PHPbuilder (www.phpbuilder.com/manual) manual is very good, as is the MySQL (dev.mysql.com) one. Perl I am tempted to learn as it is more than a tool for web-building. I might give javascript a miss as I don't have a good enough reason to learn them. |
