How to get started building websites RRS feed

  • Question

  • Have been using VB to develop programs and I now need to create a website.

    Created a web site years ago with asp.net.

    But now I see there are many more choices, what to do?

  • Hello,

    What technology to use will depend on what you are looking to do, how quickly you can get up to speed with a technology new to you.

    Things have changed a lot in six years.

    You could look at blazer which is on the bleeding edge.

    Another option is web api which can be done purely in ASP.NET or done in a hybrid manner (which we have done)

    Of course there is always ASP.NET to look at which has changed a lot in recent years.

  • It is worthwhile doing the straightforward HTML, CSS, and PHP tutorials in this website : -

    http://html.net/forums/

    They are free tutorials and a lot of fun to do.

    Learn straightforward pure html first before you get mucked around with ASP :) :) :) . I was the same - - started with ASP many years ago, but more recently reverted to widespread browser friendly html - -

    PS I found web hosting that is ASP compatible was more expensive and exclusive - - may have changed nowadays.
