About to develope dynamic web site

Hello all!

Today, I want to share with you my thoughts about programming languages (usually used for web sites). While using only HTML, we can’t develop dynamic(access to database) web sites. So to do that we have to use other languages that emit with HTML. So I think…

PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor)

PHP is a programming language that originally designed for developing dynamic web design, by Rasmus Lerdorf 1995. PHP was created on C programming language (I think most high level languages written in C), and duplicated C language’s syntax, function and some other advantages. Nowadays, PHP is widely used language that so many web sites created by it. I’m not sure, but I would say PHP is biggest language that used for web design. The reason why it became famous is PHP works on most web servers and operating systems, also its platform is free of charge. Like 4,5 year ago when I found to know about PHP, it used to run on only linux server. Now, PHP is being developed very fast and lots of content management framework (e.g joomla) are created for PHP. For me, the biggest advantage of PHP is it comfortably works with both access and sql databases.

Coldfusion

Coldfusion is software developing framework that used for general computer software but mostly used in web sites. Couple years ago, CF was becoming famous and many schools, universities and government departments created their web sites on CF. But due to fast technology development, or slow growth of CF development, CF now makes lots of problems, so many people hate CF (me too lol). Also it’s so expensive (server, framework costs etc). For example, most CSU sites were written by CF, and now they are being changed to VB (visual basic ), #C (.)Net, because coldfusion based web sites push the servers down when it’s upgraded or just conflict usages of people. Also it works with only access database. Some people may argue with me on this point, but when we use sql database, we have to specify namespace and every time to change sql database location, we need to have new namespace. It’s possible to work with both access and sql, but it’s not good idea for sql.

I might talk about only disadvantages of CF. As I know, there are couple of advantages such as it’s efficient and easy to code. I would not suggest you to use CF, but if you interest visit: www.sitepoint.com/article/cold-fusion-tutorial

ASP .Net

I usually works on ASP .Net which is a web application framework and recently developed by Microsoft and used with strong visual programming languages VB, #C. It has lots of advantages and nowadays, everything is possibly to made on and comfortable to work with both sql and access databases. We can write asp web sites on all text editors and web applications, also there is a nice program named Microsoft Visual Studio versions. Actually this is not only for web sites, and mostly used visual programming.

Sometimes it’s confusing to put asp web sites on the server, because of lots of functionality and configurations that are for extending .Net.

Except this problem, ASP is best tool for web site. It has so specific helpful error report when any error occur. Also, ASP is useful for both design and functionality, and comfortable/clear to work with cookies, sessions, file system and a lot more.

I strongly suggest you to see or try ASP .Net:
