Hello Everyone, I want to make a social website, Not a website like FB, Twitter etc, Which languages should I learn?
I want to make a social website for my school's students, A website that contains Chat room, Forum, Some Games, Private Chat, Profiles with all info like Age, Sex, Date Of Birth, Class, Section etc.

I am a newbie in Programing, I am learning HTML now days but I don't know what else I should Learn.
I am so determined to make a social website for my school's students and gain respect at school Smile

How much money should I have in my pocket to make all this?

P.S: I'm 14 yr old, Boy.

To make an interactive site like that you will need to learn HTML CSS javascript and a server side programming language like php. You will also need to learn how to use a MySQL database and query it. What I did to learn how to make sites like that is I learned most of it on codecademy.com or .org don&#x27;t remember then I downloaded xampp which is a server package which is free and it has php MySQL apache server and ftp and some other stuff but it was really great for learning especially since its free. By the way you should be able to learn how to do this and be able to get it running for free because you can run the server off almost any computer and the software is free if you use xampp. Also if you tell your school you&#x27;d like to do this they might even set up a server for you.

A website involves many languages First, you should learn the basics: HTML5 and CSS. After that, you should javascript. javascript is NOT java. learn javascript. After you learn the basics, you should learn what is called a "server side" language. The best is PHP, which is what Facebook was originally written in. You should also learn yet another language. This is a "database language." The best to learn here is MySQL. With learning SQL, you should learn how to avoid SQL injection. SQL injection is bad. Although not a programming language, you should learn apache configuration and .htaccess. Although a lot easier to setup on a linux machine, windows can work, but it is not recommended as it is a lot harder. Besides the computer, it is free. To allow people to connect, you need to "port forward" port 80. After that, give them your IP (http://ipchicken.com) so that they can connect. For an already made free social networking platform, try pligg.
