I am interested in creating a website. I use MSVC++. Can I use it to create websites? Im pretty new to web development. Thanks

No, all you need is Notepad

Here are some good websites for HTML and JavaScript.

(This one i believe was for a class of some sort, as the guy talks about needing a floppy disk because the C:\ drive is write-protected.)

BTW, VC++ is for c++. It is generally not used for web development, unless you are maybe developing some advanced server programs.

Experience with C is good if you want to learn web development, like working with databases with PHP. PHP script is looks much alike C. There are even many same commands.

Yeah, it is good to know, just so you can get to know OOP. But don't go learning C++ just so you will be able to learn PHP better. C++ is much harder.

I recomend using visual interdev for web development. Much better than front page!

Interdev is good, but you have to pay for it. You can't beat the price of notepad :P

I prefer notepad also. if you start out on a program were it basically makes the page for you with little know-how of HTML, then when time comes you won't know how to configure HTML tags without the program. if you start out in notepad you can get the basics down then after you are comportable with most of the HTML tags then you can switch to another program like frontpage or whatever. At least you will have an idea of what is going on.

**sail3005** · May 28th, 2001, 07:40 PM

Well, i don't use interdev for the visual stuff. I use it for the syntax highlighting and the "Code insight" type things. I hate WYSIWYG!!!

**JoshT** · May 29th, 2001, 12:18 PM

Count me as a hater of WYSIWYG editors, too.

Also, with C++ and IIS, can't you create some pretty dynamic web applications rather than just groups of pages?

**sail3005** · May 29th, 2001, 04:11 PM

Not sure, i have been interested in the possibilities of mixing asp and c++, beause i love them both, but i have never looked into it. If anyone knows any resources, could they tell me?

Can't really use it now anyway, since IIS is being a piece of ****.

**Skitchen8** · Jun 1st, 2001, 11:10 AM

I have a simple HTML editor i made in VC++ (okay fine, i copied most of the code), but its really useful if u wanna check it out. It has HTML highlighting and all the other shiznit. NO WYSIWYG crap cuz all wysiwyg editors suck newayz. If anyone wants it just e-mail me at [email protected], ill send u a copy of the program in a zip file. write back to me after u use it and tell me what to fix!!

**sail3005** · Jun 1st, 2001, 11:36 AM

could you post a copy of the program here?

**Skitchen8** · Jun 1st, 2001, 11:39 AM

Yeah, i gotta recompile it and put it in a zip file first. BTW does anyone know how to change the program so that it will save as .html (when u use it now u have to type in the .html)I am fairly new to vc++ and copied almost all of this code and just compiled different bits of code into one program.

**sail3005** · Jun 1st, 2001, 11:43 AM

perhaps ask in the c++ forum...http://161.58.186.97/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=9

good luck
