Choosing a programming language?

I was wondering what a good programming language to learn would be under the following criteria: My computer is crashed right now so it would have to be web-based. (I'm not allowed to download on the public computer) I'm a very creative person but I failed the programming class I took in college (along with half the class). I want to be able to incorporate pictures, video, or music that I upload onto the site. I want to make my own widgets. there. I said it.Choosing a programming language?
Every programming language involves downloading something, whether it be a compiler, interpreter, dev/test environment or even just the IDE/editor. So strike one.





Being creative won't help you, if you don't have the logic skills to program, you're screwed. By failing a programming class you've shown to be unable or unwilling to learn basic programming concepts. Strike two.





You've queried what programming language you want to learn, but imply what you really want to do is make a website. Which really limits your choices to all of the following:


HTML


CSS


JavaScript


SQL


PHP or ASP


And by the sounds of things, you want to make a YouTube-type media-upload site, which further requires you to learn Flash, and probably an application server platform like Java Enterprise or .NET. So you really don't have much choice in what to learn - programming languages are tools, you use certain tools for certain jobs, and you've just detailed that you have a nail you want to hammer into a piece of wood, but don't know what tool would be best to use. Sorry, you're stuck with a hammer. Strike three.Choosing a programming language?
It's not a programming language, but if you're going to do any work on the web you should first become very familiar with HTML and CSS.





Those are the underlying languages to design web pages and format them.





Then, you can decide to learn something like JavaScript and start building on those skills.





You might want to retake that programming class, though, as the concepts you'll get from taking any structured programming class will be pretty useful later on when you start dealing with concepts like arrays and error handling, etc.

I Would Say Try asp.net and using The Visual Basic.net Language as Visual Basic .net is easy to under stand and easy to read. I am currently Developing a Web Telementry System And I am Using asp.net With Visual Basic but the main thing is to know how to search the internet and have logic.





If u use asp.net with visual basic.net you will sometimes need to use CSS and JScript but you will be able to develop a complete site without using CSS and JScript.





Hope it help
