How difficult would it be to write the "CODE(S)" or the ALGORITHM for a website like MySpace or Facebook? - Soscrates Fd - 04-30-2014 09:25 AM I am a total n00b and will not deny it. I have no clue about how programming a website works. Maybe you could list the basic framework for how it works or give me a link to better understand the construction process of creating the code(s) and algorithms for said sites. Where do i start? how is the code write and with what means? I am in the process of trying to create a website, if i were to go the Facebook route what would i need to do? Thank you! - Anas Imtiaz - 04-30-2014 09:32 AM First master the basics: HTML5: http://www.w3schools.com/html5 CSS3: http://www.w3schools.com/css3 Then move on to learn how to make your website dynamic: J http://www.w3schools.com/js jQuery: http://www.w3schools.com/jquery Learn how to send/receive data to/from the server on run-time: http://www.w3schools.com/php http://www.w3schools.com/asp http://www.w3schools.com/ajax http://www.w3schools.com/xml Learn how to send/receive data to/from databases: http://www.w3schools.com/sql When you have learned all these, build a website that incorporates your knowledge of all these. Master how to use them together. After that, you will start to understand and develop your own codes for how to create a social website but it will require lots of practice and knowledge. P.S. Facebook uses its own language called FBML (Facebook markup language). If you want to learn that, try this book: FBML Essentials by O'Reilly Find more here: http://fb-developers.info/tech/fb_dev/fbml_oldphp/learning_fbml_1.php Hope this hels you.
