Start off with English.

I think I understand the question.
So for building website or web application. Your flavors of choice are:
Java, C# , VB.NET, ColdFusion, Perl, PHP, Python , Ruby and, Lua .
Packages:
LAMP/WAMP/MAMP(Linux/Window/Mac, Apache, MySQL, PHP/Python/Perl)
Most people who use this set choose PHP.
Ajax)(Asynchronous, JavaScript, XML)
ASP.Net(Active Server Pages)
*Sorry if any links are broken or in the wrong spot.
I would Suggest you also check out the follow information.
Web 2.0
Zend This has to do with PHP.
Yahoo Developer Network
Google Web Toolkit
I usually use PHP+MYSQL with a CSS layout.
If you wanted you could use all of the above most of them will talk to each other.

I'm not sure what exactly is your strong point, but before the season began my team had a little programming class thingy, and I learned one thing: "Java can't be used to build Killer Robots." Not sure if that'll help, but I thought I'd throw it out there.

What this quote is trying to tell you is this: If there was ONE big thing that would help you in your entire future career it would be to learn to communicate in English without mis-spellings, grammatical errors, and other basic errors.

When I was a hiring supervisor, any resume' that came to me with errors was recycled without further consideration. I do not care how well you can speak; all important communications occur in writing. Being able to read and write in English is quite high on my list of priorities when considering someone to hire, and I doubt this attitude is unique.

Now, it may be that your first language is not English. If this is true, then it indicates that you need to put some effort into the language, if you expect to have a career that deals with the English-speaking world. Not that English is all that simple; I find it to be a difficult language, but mastering it completely will serve you far better that being excellent in Java or .NET.

Programming languages can be learned and mastered in a few months. English can take more than a lifetime. Best get started soon.


Auch, du kannst auf Deutsch schreiben, falls noetig.

I think that's all but certain.

Mastered?
I wanna meet the programmers you know.

I'm inclined to say that the user's first language is not English. Look at the link in their signature - it's a .at link, which is the country code for Austria. The web page is also written in German.

I was just a little bit shocked at the response to the somewhat-broken English. When a Chilean team posts asking a question with improper grammar and usage, everybody is kind and understanding, even if the intent of the post isn't clear, but when it takes more than a few seconds to understand the intent of the post, we get a little snippy about it? I'm seeing a double standard , but that may have just been me interpreting the above posts with the wrong tone. Take a trip back to high school...I doubt that my Italian is anywhere near grammatically correct, and we all struggled with foreign languages at some point. This is no different. We also speak with incredible amounts of slang, even though we don't realize it.

My interpretation of the post, in slightly more understandable English:

I am an engineering student, and I am just confused about the language selection options for web design programming. Do you have any suggestions about which language I should choose to use?

The two options that I'm thinking of are Java or .Net
...which one should I choose? If you have any better options, then I'm open to suggestions.

Thanks in advance for your reply

Also, welcome to CD, alstonfered.

No doubt, you meant "not English"?

I think the terse response by the student was uncalled for, otherwise nothing shocking.
But I would just chalk the student's response up to youth and inexperience.

We eventually get to the point that we can read bad English and make a reasonably accurate guess as to whether it's bad because the writer doesn't have English as his first language or because the writer is just not-so-bright.

I think the reply by Mr. Rotolo was entirely considerate and offered appropriate advice to anyone who aspires to become employed IN the US.
Presumably though, the poster will make out just fine with his limited English skills in Germany or Austria or wherever he actually lives.

Edit:

It occurs to me that, if one does not have English as the first language, and one doesn't wish to preface each post with an apology for that fact (I wouldn't if it were me), then it might not hurt to put something about it in one's signature.

Something like "English is not my first language. Please be kind about my grammar"

In my experience, the answer to your question (original post) is basically this:
Learn the principles, and then choose the best tool for the job.

Java is great for web application development. .Net is Microsoft's answer to Java. JSP/ASP let's you write web pages that also include code for more complex web pages and applications. Javascript is a scripting language which can either make things easy or quite hard. PHP is a scripting language for web development. Any Web 2.0 stuff is going to (largely) require some Javascript knowledge...

I would say pick a starting point, learn the principles, and then be able to branch out to other languages and toolkits. My recommendation would be: start with HTML, Javascript and styles. Once you want to get into programming more for complex web applications, start with one (say, Java or JSP), and then try the others to see how they do the same things.

I'm surprised that anyone would not realize it was a spammer. Its sig says buy in it and links to a website that isn't in english.
