Where can I learn these languages? I would really like to be able to make my own webpage and not wait for certian people *COUGH* JordanUl *COUGH* to make a site for me.
I know a few things about using HTML, but not how to use it to make a site. And,I think I should use CGI, so I can update the site from...ermm... the site. Like have admin areas and all that good stuff. I think CGI is the only thing that can do that. Well, thanks for the help (if you do help).

Well, I don't want a tutorial that tells me the syntax, I want a tutorial that shows me how to USE it. So I can make my website with an Idea of what I'm doing and so that I don't get lost.

Well then don't ask me, I don't know any sites but ones with the syntax listing, thats also the reason I am crap at HTML.

CGI isn't a language it's an interface, the BYOND forum is made with C++ interfaced into CGI, .dmb web files are BYOND files interfaced into CGI but they retain their .dmb format, Perl is a common language that is interfaced into CGI, as well as C++, you have to make sure your server can support C++/Perl before you can use them in CGI form.

Okay, I went there before. I basically want a step by step tutorial on the process of making a web page.

Ok thats easy!
Get a host, type some stuff into whatever program your using to make that website, then set it up! <<>>Kusanagi<<>> | |
Here is a good site that has loads of stuff including CGI and HTML. www.freeprogrammingresources.com

Think of building a web page as you'd think of programming a BYOND game...
They really are quite similar... They just use different commands, and a different structure... But the underlying principles are the same... You visualize what you would like your page to be, learn the necessary tags, and start coding it... Much like you'd go about making a game here... Instead of the Dream Maker, you use a simple text editor (Notepad will do just fine) and code your site... You put that file on a webserver (like compiling and uploading a BYOND game to the hub) and it is read by a browser (which acts like Dream Seeker, a client) to interpret that text file into a webpage... Simple as that... See the similarities? Just learn the tags and the basic layout of HTML pages, and you're all set... | |
