[Klug-general] Interactive Websites

[Peter Childs]

Right Second post in ten minutes, its been rather quite so I thought
this place needed some livening up. Unless your all positing on the
wiki now and I can't be be bothered to look, I have wiki and forums..
and that comes from someone using gmail......

I need to create a interactive web site, Rather not give details its
for work. Basically we have a large C++ Qt application and and want to
transfer it or enhance it with an interactive website.

Anyway I'm trying to work out what tools to use because I'm getting a bit lost.

I mean the web just has too many bits.

Php/Perl/Java/SSI (Pick one)
Html
Javascript (with all its ie/firefox/opera differences)
CSS (Yes thats a 4th complely different language)
AJAX (Which is really more of an idea than a langauge)
GWT (Oh that encapsulates most of the above into java)
JPEG
PNG
GIF
ActiveX
Flash

Are you confused yet?

I want to know where to start what to use.

I've been looking at Dojo/Php/HTML/CSS but thats still 4 complete
different langaues to learn which does not help. And I'm a programmer
not a designer so I should be able to cope. But I don't know how a
Designer with no programming skills would cope with the web currently.

Please bring back the paper and pencil at least then you only had to
chouse between type of pen/pencil and type of paper....

Peter.
