Coding a website?

[hulibarri]

im a beginner here and i was wondering if it was possible to code a website from scratch? am i way in over my head or is it completley plausible.

Yes...it does not involve C++ at all. Unless by code a website you mean coding the server and everything else as well...but even then I don't believe it is too difficult really.

PHP would be your language of choice for making websites(in my opinion). Not much you can do with website designing and C++

i would sugest html css and javascript, for web design.

http://www.w3schools.com/ is a very good place for learing the basics of it.

I'd just started with Wt http://www.webtoolkit.eu/wt/
The main advantage, you will not code a line of html, css or javascript. It's all C++. (or that's what they say)

well, c++ is alot harder to learn than css and html, so i dont know if that is a good idea, if you dont have a background in c++ programming. i am decent in web design, and i have only done html and css for about 3 weeks (had to learn it cause of school)
i do have the support of a teacher, but i suspect i could learn the same amount of stuff in less than a month without a teacher.

Start by studying these 200 lines of C code - a fully functional web server supporting HTTP GET for static html pages, graphic image files, and zipped archives.

Then try adding functionality to extend it, one small feature at a time, testing each step before moving on to the next.
