Is It Hard To Make A Web Site? (new member)

[ericfromoc]

Hello, everyone. I am a new member :) Good to be here. I have a degree in computer engineering, and sadly of late I got hooked with ASP.NET, which I was never trained for. Web programming looks so fun! Um, basically my question is, Is it really hard to code/launch sites like facebook or myspace? Of course not the whole package, but the basic capability such as login, access to database, retrieve and display files pertaining to the user, etc. I mean, that alone seems Ok, but then it seems like I've got to worry about cookie, session, protocol and so many other complicated things. I am asking this because I have a web site idea and wants to make it happen, but quite frankly it looks daunting. And all these guys who created YouTube, myspace, or facebook are geeks and I am not. I do have years of objected oriented programming experience(Java) so programming is not entirely new to me, but I don't know if it should mean that I CAN DO THIS within months or so. I don't know if I am looking for encouragement here, I guess more like reality check. I don't have anybody to team up with. No geeks around me. Am I doomed unless I can conjure up some money to pay distrustful people to work for me? What would you do if you were me? Urgh... sux. I am studying tho :P Thanks in advance for your replies. Well appreciated. Please be nice :)

I can understand your excitement . But it is not easy to create such hugh scale websites and manage them.Specially for a student like you.I dont want to discourage you but the reality is it requires a lot of money to host such sites . It takes involvment of a well organised team of techies for all this with giant databases to manage.

If you want to create somthing for your group friends then go ahead.
