Hi Chris, I think the advice to take a look at Python/Django is sound. In my opinion (shared by many), Python has a much nicer syntax than PHP. At first you might be put off by the whitespace based indention (I was.), but it's really nice once you get use to it. The Django documentation<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/> is EXCELLENT and the community is great as well meaning that you'll find resources and open source projects.
For someone who excels at HTML/CSS, Django provides a very clean template system. Check out something like Django basic apps<https://github.com/nathanborror/django-basic-apps>to get started on some simple apps. After Python, I'd go with Ruby and Ruby on Rails framework for many of the same reasons I list above. I prefer Python, but that's mostly because I've used it more. When I've gone through RoR tutorial examples, it's always seemed a bit too much magic. -RYAN On Saturday, April 21, 2012 3:20:05 AM UTC-5, Chris Newell wrote: > > Hello my favorite and fellow geeks. > > I am a front end web designer with mad skills in HTML/CSS. > > I want to take a deep dive into a good web development language and was > pointed towards python and specifically the Django framework. > > I do not have any real object oriented coding experience under my belt. > > If Jesus himself asked you to build heavens new web application, what > would you code it in and why. > > Thanks! > -Chris > > Sent from my iPhone > > -- Our Web site: http://www.RefreshAustin.org/ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Refresh Austin" group.
