Website Questions

1- Does it have to be able to load on low bandwidth/slow computers? Because shockwave sites won't be possible then.

2- If we were to make a forum/message board, do we have to make our own, like self coded, or can we use something like phpbb or vbulletin? It's pretty obvious that even this site is using vbulletin, but one of my teammate says our website needs to be completely original, so just making sure

3- For the website design award, are they basing it on the design/look, infomation on the site, innovation, or combination of the few, or what?

4- Finally, where do you guys learn languages for web design like php or perl? Online or books? Which way is most effective?

Thanx,
David

1) The best websites are universal able to load on most computers, obviously if your using a Tandy it won't happen, but u get my point

2) You can make your own...I don't reccomend it, we are getting ours free from http://www.asp.net done nicely and for free.

3) Not sure really.

4) Neither, learning C++ in school I found it super easy just to start using ASP.NET and C#. I used a book that was very good made by a company called Visual with the title of the books being Read Less, Lean More just the book ASP.NET

Have Fun!
