This News Group is a God Sent. I am interested in developing a Web Sight that will allow people to log and gather information about themselves and allow them to exchange information. I am a avid reader but am having a great deal of trouble understanding where to begin. First I Read two books on HTML and developed some simple applications with HTML. Next I read books on Java and Java Script. I purchased Java 1.0 Workshop and Visual Java compiler. This lead me to believe that a strong understanding of C and C++ was a prerequisite to the understanding and development of Java applications. This lead to the reading of over fourteen books, cover to cover, dealing with C and C++ programming. I purchased Visual C++. But, after reading the licence agreement I got the impression that Microsoft would be entitled to a portion of any revenues derived from applications that I would developed. I then purchased Borland C++, Borland C++ Builder 3, 4 and 5. I spent weeks of developing structures, initializing them, storing then to a disk file, and then retrieving them from disk files unsuccessfully. I need help. This News Group could be my salvation. After reading a number of the memoοΏ½s in the News Group I am getting the impression that I should be using Delphi. Questions: Should I be using Delphi instead of Borland C++ Builder 5. Where do the various programming languages fit into the development of Web Sights. Where do I get more information that will help further my understanding of the Web Sight development process.

I guess that depends. What is your programming background? C++ can be a bit of a tough language to get a strong handle on. (not impossible) The tools provide a loose framework usually and then you must supply the rest. This is where the language choice will come in.
