[Need Advice] My First Website

Hello everyone, while some people love working with c# or languages like that i like working with websites and understand how html,php,js,jq are doing there jobs.

Which is why i am starting a very simple website from scratch. I am going to use this for my conquer and i will love to get some advice from you guys.

Please note: i am trying to learn css/html/php the same time so this website is where i put all my skills, plz plz plz tell me if you think i should work on something.

Version 1.0

Version 2.0

So today i worked on the css of the website and figure out few things which will help the website look little better.

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

if you look at the version 1 and version to you will see that the border-radius has been change,

from border-radius: 4px 4px 4px 4px it has been change to border-radius: 12px 12px 12px 12px

What type of advice are you looking for, exactly?

like should i leave the menus like that or maybe buttons will be better or, should i work on something because its to basic stuff like that.

Well, I would suggest sticking to your old website and modifying its theme. I don't think you're at a skill level where you can create your own templates - not yet. My first website was for my HTML class in high school, and it looked horrible. As a side project though, I can see how this is good practice. I would recommend refining the template. Use CSS more.

Why PHP? When you could use ASP.NET, Ruby on rails, Python or node.js.

I see nothing wrong with using PHP. There are times where you use PHP and times when you use ASP.NET, just like there are times where you'd use Java and times you'd use C++. He's just getting started, and there's nothing wrong with using PHP. The last thing Boris needs is encouragement to overload himself again.

Well i want to start with basic stuff, like html php css (i think every beginners must start with this 3 first which will explain everything you need to know about basic website programming)

ATM i will stay away from asp.net and ruby because i am still trying to work with this 3 but ones i master them i will go on asp.net then ruby.

Why are you starting with PHP if you can't properly use HTML and CSS yet?

As for using ASP.net instead of PHP, I agree with Fang on that there is time to use ASP.net and PHP. Both the languages have their own advantages, node.js won't really help that much to create the front end of the website since it is server sided javascript.

Dayum. Look at it without that fancy picture in the background and tell me if you like the page. Stick to your old one, this looks pretty horrible :D

He's using C#, so why not go with ASP.NET? Also there isn't really any times that I'd use PHP rather than ASP.NET, even if I knew both. I can't think of a scenario where PHP would be a better choice than ASP.NET.

As for Java and C++. Java is horrific. Want to use Java? Use C#.
Let's not get started on unsigned integers, delegates/function pointers etc. in Java... Nope, just nope. Never would I use Java for anything.

Stop giving advice. :facepalm: This is so wrong. Let me give you a scenario - you're working on a horrible Linux host. You would use PHP because it's lightweight enough to work on the host. It has a larger cost to performance ratio than ASP.NET does. You would have to use Windows to host ASP.NET correctly; and mono ASP.NET just slows it down even more. Now lets look at Java - it's fantastic for managed, cross platform programs. Would I use it for a cross platform server? No - I'd use C++. For quick client programs, however, it's fantastic. Also, you should know that Java 7 is faster than Mono C#. Stop being so biased. Java is around for a reason - PHP is around for a reason. These languages all have their uses. Saying they don't is just flat-out ignorance.

Saying Java is good because it runs on every platform is like saying anal sex is good because it works on every gender.

I'm biased about Java's chosen language features, because it lacks a lot of features which it doesn't have or another language has implemented better and also not really on about its performance. If you want performance go with C, C++ or D.

PHP is not around for a reason, it just happened to become "popular".

By your theory then all the egy sources have a use as well.

Java is not a performant language, a lot of features are missing. But if I want to do something cross-platform rapidly, I won't go for C++ (not fast to develop with) and I won't go for C# because Mono never worked correctly for me. So, yes, Java might be shitty for a lot of things, but the fact that it is cross-platform, managed, with a large framework make it perfect for some jobs and I would use it. You can deal with the limitations.

For PHP, I know you hate it, but until ASP.NET become available on a decent server OS (OS X and Windows aren't decent and Mono is not a solution from my point of view), I will stick with PHP which is supported on every platforms, every web server. PHP is more than enough for 99% of the websites.

Well I didn't suggest ASP.NET only. I suggested Ruby on rails, Python and node.js too.

+1 for C# for windows. But what if you want to develop for IOS, Android or Mac ?

Well then, i will get Xamarin and do it in C# :D :D too.
