Hello- first post!

I’ve been developing sites in ASP (with Access) for a number of years now and have gotten pretty comfortable in using it for all of the things I need to do. I have been feeling for a while now though that I am way behind the times now and want to update my skill set. Problem is I really don’t know what other developers are using now? I want to learn something that I know is not going to disappear 6 months down the line when the ‘next best thing’ supercedes it.

The sort of everyday things I do are simple registration forms, brochure ordering systems etc. Occasionally I’ll need to create simple CMS systems and e-commerce solutions.

Any suggestions? Am I worrying about nothing?!

Thanks

I’ve noticed PHP is becoming very popular, but basic HTML and CSS should be an asset before you start PHP-ing.

JavaScript, CSS, HTML, Ruby on Rails, PHP, CGI, are all very cool and are worth looking in to. Though some hosting companies don’t support Ruby or CGI, most support PHP, and all support CSS/HTML.

So, basically, HTML, CSS and PHP are good things to know.

Hope that helps!

E-commerce solutions in PHP with MySQL databases:

- Zen-cart ( I use this one ). already prepared scripts, easy to install, easy to use, to configure and adopt ( a lot of ready - free templates but you are free to customize the look you want ) 
- OS Commerce ( like zen-cart, but I haven’t used it )

Unlike your ASP, PHP, MySQL based scripts are open source ( no licence, no need to pay for the scripts )

You can see my site from my profile ( that is one of few I have customized - by CSS, adding some add-ons and java scripts )

And.. what I should mention is that I am not an expert in PHP, MySQL. I call myself rather a good puzzle solver. So with some knowledge of what I do, using e-commerce ready scripts, I was able of developing the web site the way I want.

I second that.  Html, CSS, PHP are the primary languages to learn and you don’t need to fear if they disappear all of a sudden.

Well, you could always check out tutorials online to self study. You’ll be learning in no time since you have background on it anyway.

PHP is old but not only I but millions of people feel that it’s still a powerful.
Rather I should not say PHP is old. Start learning PHP and it is very easy to learn.
It’s is very similar to C++. If you do not know C++ don’t worry.

Lots of ebook and materials are availabel in net.
For giving a start i would suggeest “PHP is NUTSHELL” by Oralley.

It’s is fantastic to give a good start.

Start with PHP. In my view, PhP is here to stay. At least for the next few years.

PHP is definitely here to stay. It is one of my absolute favorite programs to use for backend stuff.

I use HTML, CSS and PHP for most sites. Some sites I develop with ASP.NET or JSP. Classic ASP is dying a most painful death and you should migrate to ASP.NET.

This is really helpful, I’m just starting out . I know basic Html & Css and I wasn’t sure where to go from there.

Thanks for the post!

You should try to learn PHP and MySQL, they are free and easy to learn.
