This is a useful thread.
I'll tell you what my plan is because i am also at the beginning stages. As I have loaded up MySQL Apachie and PHP i will not be going down the ASP route. It seems to me that I should pick either PHP or ASP to concentrate on ( is that correct ?)
Most people seem to be saying good stuff about PHP so I'll go that route. I did do some work in C++ and in VBasic before but as I mainly want to work with MySQL, I'll use PHP.
I saw somewhaer someone say that Pearl/cgi-bin is outdated and there's not point to it. I did not want to have to learn that as well.
I guess that between Javascript and PHP ( and incorparating CSS with the HTML )I should be able to do most things.
Is that about right ? or should I learn something else as well before I tackle some projects ?
My projects are mainly database driven not much need for fancy graphics.
Most am also happy to have any extra guidance.
