With so many technologies around which include HTML, XML, Javascript, CSS,
ASP, ASP.NET (and PHP, JSP of course etc.)
What is the sequence for learning web programming? which come should be
learned first and which should come later? Which form the foundation?
My aim is to become a web developer for both commercial Intranet and Internet
application.
Thanks for sharing...
First, not sure why PHP and JSP are in there with "of course"... oh
the horror!
Ask this question to 10 web developers and you will get 10 different
responses. Personally, I think you either have it or you don't. Anyone
can pick up a book, code a few html pages and call themselves a web
developer. But to become a good web developer, you need a solid
foundation in math and logic. Regarding platforms/languages, Classic
ASP is out, don't even bother with that. You should definitely start
with HTML, then understand the concepts of server side vs. client
side, then learn about the ASP.NET platform, then pick a dotnet
language like VB.NET or C# and start learning that (my preference is
C#). You will also need to learn about databases and how to write SQL
queries. You can download SQL Server Express for free (http://
msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/sql/). XML, Javascript, and CSS
are all things that you will pick up along the way, I wouldn't focus
on those specifically until you have a good understanding of ASP.NET
and using ADO.NET and SQL.
