Web technologies for Web development

Question

I plan to develop web site in PHP using MYSQL ...which applications call for the use of technologies like Ruby-on-Rails , AJAX and Coldfusion. Thx.

Answer 1

Ruby on Rails is another web development language, as mentioned by sAc it is not needed as you are developing in PHP. AJAX stands for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. Look here for more information on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajax_(programming)

Answer 2

If you use PHP, you won't need Ruby-on-Rails.

Other technologies that you may use are as follows (this is all dependant on the project, mind you):

• jquery (javascript)
• css
• html (obvious)
• frameworks (zend, symphony, code igniter, cake, etc..)
• postgres (alternative to mysql)

That's just a few

Answer 3

Instead of planning you should just do it, as experimentation is an important part of the process. Dabbling even briefly with an one of these things will explain exactly what you're asking.
