web development in C++??
Hello again,
Like I said in a previous post, I'm a front-end web developer with a background in Java. I'm teaching myself C++ just for a hobby.
I've been trying to think of a "learning project", and I was wondering about writing a content management system for small/medium websites. I suppose I could write that as a desktop application, but I was wondering about C++ as a web development language.
ASP.Net gives the option to use C++, does it not? Are there any other web frameworks out there worth looking at? My primary "home environment" is Ubuntu, and I'm not sure about coding ASP stuff on that platform...
I read an article on C++ web development that suggested a few different approaches, non of which sounded very exciting. One was using PHP pages to act as a "transition layer" between a C++ console app and the web, another was to use old (?) cgi scripts to interact with a C++ console app, and the third was to write your own web-server in C++!
Any ideas?

about writing a content management There are so much of all kinds of tools for this without any progamming as you may be aware.
Probably anyone hasn't come up with in C++ in hands yet.
It does sound exciting until a piece laying ahead of the stript.
You can use a C++ program as CGI, I know there's also a library to do that ( GNU Cgicc )
There's also the native client thing to run a C++ program directly on the browser side.
Or just use the C++ program as back end called by other components
