Hi,
I want to develop my own bulletin board system for my website to save costs (as opposed to buying a bulletin board system). I have quite a bit of experience with programming, including Visual Basic, VbScript, C, C++, and HTML.
What I want to know is where I should get started. I haven't done any real (CGI) web programming. How is the programming related to the actual integration with the HTML pages?
Please point me in the right direction.
Thanks.
well, it seems that you want to do it in Perl, since that is the most common CGI language. I would probably do it in PHP or ASP...but...here is a link to help you get started with cgi: http://www.cgi101.com/class
Wow! That's a great website. I'm already writing my own CGI scripts! ?correct terminology?
Thanks a lot!
Thats good that you found that research useful! I would recomend though that you take a look at some PHP or ASP programming. Many developers are switching from perl to ASP and PHP for that type of thing.
