Web development general guidance and advice.
Hey everyone,
I am fairly new to this site and not sure yet how it works. I am looking for advice on what books or programs would be good to jump into web development. I'm not a beginner but not quite to the advanced level, somewhere in the middle. I'm looking to become a little bit past advanced maybe further. For my companies website I am hoping to design I am also going to need to have and understanding of how websites manage member login and membership information. I'm not sure if that's another completely different beast or not. And I all also looking for any advice on SEO. Thank you all for any advice or tips and tricks I should know.
Thank you so much!

Hey there Mr. Miller,
Thank you! I was hoping to avoid dedicating years, at least right now. But I really was hoping to avoid templates. If I was going to make an attempt at such a language, or if I hire someone but still want a basic understanding to be able to communicate effectively. what language would you recommend trying to learn?

If you have never done any programming, it will take you at least a year to understand what is going on. The two most common server programming languages are PHP and ASP.NET. PHP is generally easier but not easy.
The server side languages are used to generate web pages. The technologies used in the pages are HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Thank you Mr. Baldwin
I understand it is quite a task, and none of them will be easy but that you. I may be way over my head and have to hire someone, I was just hoping to avoid that because I am a small company.
I have a couple books by Jon Duckett to learn those languages and they seem to be pretty good.

Learning is one thing. Do that, and take your time doing it.
But to get a site up for your business NOW, use something like Wix or SquareSpace to get going.

ASKER CERTIFIED SOLUTION
membership
This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
Learn HTML especially HTML5. There are heaps of tutorial web sites out there, just Google for them.
To create a login/membership site you require to program in a server side language eg. PHP, ASPX. this is a long learning curve if you are prepared to put in the hours/years.
An alternative would be something like Joomla
https://www.joomla.org/
It is simple and will get what you want fairly fast, once setup, just download a template and away you go.
