Creating a web site

[geek@02]

Can you please point me to some good places on the net, which I can learn about creating web sites that can handle sales online?

Thanks.

Do you know HTML, ASP/PHP, Java Script.. or are you starting fresh..

I can somewhat manage with HTML and JavaScript. And I have a better, pretty good knowladge of Flash's ActionScript and Dreamweawer.

Ok, here's a suggestion. If you don't know how to code the pages yourself, you're going to be way off when it comes to security. Let a professional do it or take some time and learn all the ins and outs if you really want to do it yourself.

Here is a good company that will do it for you.

DO NOT USE CLIENT SIDE SCRIPTING. JavaScript is client side scripting. Use some kind of server side scripting language, such as perl.

WTF? Granted, none of your security handling should be done with Javascript, but there may be some small Javascript things that are necessary or useful (ie. showing/not showing shipping address input area, various other little user-friendly items)

To simply say not to use it AT ALL is just stupid. You cannot do some things from server side scripting.

Sorry if I gave you the impression that I want to build a site for sell something online right now. I just want to learn how they do it. So if you can tell me a few good sites you know, that teach people these kind of stuff, I’ll be very grateful.
Thanks again.

you will probably want to learn some sql if you download mysql (www.mysql.com) it will give you a good opportunity to start. Then you can integrate it with php ( www.php.net ). If you do a search on google for tutorials on each of these and then integrating them it should put you on the right path.

forgot: you'll probably need to set up an apache server to get php going, www.apache.org they have good documentation and so does www.php.net but you will probably want to learn sql from a book... much easier I have been using "Fundamentals of database systems" by Elmasri and navathe it has very broad coverage of databasing including sql... it got me going anyway and it makes a good reference

anyway good luck with it
