Well, have just pumped a little HTML into the web browser and made myself a new page. As I was nearing the end of it all, I was wondering whether it was at all possible to password protect the whole site. I know there are a few basic Javascript codes that will simply make a form appear, but that can be broken too easily simply by looking into the code. So is there a way to either hide certain parts of the HTML code (I doubt it) or get my hands on a password protection code that isn't all that easy to break (like looking into the source).

Second query: Of late I have been getting bored with that average computer usage and I have taken a sudden interest in programming. I already know QBasic. I was wondering what the best language to start off would be (yes making calculators and simple DOS programs). Would it be Java, C, C++ etc.?

Thanks a lot,

Zan

As for the languages to learn, C++ would be a good one to get your head around if you can. It is one of the biggest languages and is reasonably difficult to pick up. If you learn it first, it has all the useful techniques that apply to every other language. I recommend beginning there and you will pick any other language up by just spending time to get to know the controls.
Have fun ;-)
