Which web programming language should i use

[Lil Margin]

Hey,
I know this is not a website forum but i though i could ask this little question here tho, I wish to create a website, i have programming experience in c++, delphi, visual basic and html. I am not new to the programming world but i don't know which language i will have to use to achieve what i want, what i want is that i want to create 2 pages.1 page named Admin.html and another named News.html...in Admin.html there is an editbox and a button(with the caption submit) and when i enter a text in the editbox and click on the button it appears on News.html, if i repeat the process 2 times i will want to see all the text's i have typed in News.html.

The problem is that i don't know which language i must use to achieve what i want...
Thank you in advanced.


PS: if there is something you did not understand from my post pleas let me know.

You could probably just use a content management system. These have some security features and other useful things.
If you really don't want to use one I guess you could use html + php to achieve this. Also you could grab some javascript WYSIWYG editor and integrate it so you wouldn't have to write html stuff yourself. Php will be pretty much similar to c++.
I've done one something like this myself and hosted it somewhere on a free host server but I doubt I will remember what host I used.

I guess it is possible to do even with pure Javascript.

Is it? iirc you need server side language to do this.

Javascript allows to read and write cookies, so first page sets and the second one reads it.

Sorry, this is nonsense. It doesn't work with JavaScript.

This. If your provider supports it use something like Wordpress.

Learn PHP and how to use MySQL, eventually some XML parsers.
First page insert data into database/xml file, second page reads it.

Or this

But seriously, it's possible to do this using only pure JavaScript.
All is needed, to use some pastebin like website (with edit ability) and connect to it through AJAX requests.
Firsty, you create new pastebin paste and set password to have edit ability.
Admin page edits this pastebin paste using admin password, News page just read paste page, parse it and send it to browser.

Even better, create a blackhole in server. It will suck in the news automatically, though not sure about the possibility of retrieving them

[kazymjir]

Hmmm, according to Stephen Hawking theories, we can try to open a wormhole, but bills for power consumption to hold wormhole open all the time on server may be a bit too high.

edit:
Hey, I found cheaper solution! We can use MORSE CODE!
This will require an additional optics used to send data and also require to hire worker who will work as human-server.
I made an illustration:

LMAO, by the way guys i have picked up a book on php and since its familliar too c++ i picked it up fast and i already made that news page i wanted, instead of using a database i just used plain text.

Checkout gwt its actually pretty cool and lets you code all logic in java.

Looking interesting, but this thing may be too hard to learn for newbie.
http://jquery.com/ is a better solution.

Actually jQuery doesn't address his problem. Its only a client side lib which gives you a nice api to make the interface appealing and connect to the backend. But you still have to code the backend.
GWT on the other side is the complete deal. It makes writing the frontend an backend a brease. Besides writing javascript can be really tedious. Having java at your disposal for clientside coding is actually pretty nice. Redeuces stupid type errors by 100%.
So if you want to create a webApplication(means has a frontend(webpage) and a backend(that actually does stuff like access a db or whatever)) then gwt is actually one of the easiest things you can use. Even for a beginner.

Edit: Another option would be RubyOnRails which is as well pretty easy and powerfull
Or if you want to get adventures you could create your own webserver with node.js but yeah that would be actually not a valid option for him bc you just want to create a webapp
