this is a good thread for me to read. i have found it difficult just to realize what i need to know to start working on projects that i have in mind. i have so far been working with html css and some java script to design static web-sites but am really unsure as to where to go to make a simple web-app with a database to store user information that produces a dhtml page.
i was thinking of picking up a mysql book for dummies yesterday but decided to put it off till i finish the one on javascript. though even then im not sure if that's what i need to know or if its the right choice
with so much buzz about rails everywhere i was contemplating picking up something on that but then there is python too, and i havent a clue what exactly they do. then there is the new google app engine. will that help me? i signed up, but am yet to fully delve into exactly what it does for a developer. i guess there is alot of ways to cook an egg. but this forum really helps alot.
