Html, Cascade Style Sheet, and Javascript can be programmed right off of notepad. There is no need to purchase additional software for these language.


Does Php, ColdFusion and Perl/CGI need additional softwares. Is it like ASP, additional software such as Visual Interdev, must be bought?

What is the advantage of Php, ColdFusion and Perl/CGI?

I am learning Visual Studio.Net, Cascade Style Sheet and Javascript. I like to know other essential languages to complete web programming.

Thanks
