What should you use for this project ?

[bchaib]

I would like to make an online computer dictionary (free :P )

Some thing like this:

Computer : saçba shi
Programming: barmijiti
HTTP: izi protokoli fantshi intaranti baro misti
...

What should you use to make this one?

Java Applet
PHP
CGI with Perl
Flash with ActionScript
Javascript with XML
...

And why ?? I want just using open source :-) ;)

kind regards :p

Yes I forget to tell you something which is very important
I am not going to translate the words used in the ICT by myself but I want to program the web application for some friends who are going to translate the words and save them into the database.

Thank youuuu

Hi,

This is really a question of personal preferences. If I was tackling this problem I would use:

1. MySQL as the database
2. PHP for the dataprocessing server side
3. JavaScript for client side scripting
4. AJAX for processing between the client a server side
5. HTML and CSS for the display.

That's all I would use. However, it seems to me to be a bit redundant when you consider dictionary.com

If you want to read up on any of the above technologies run a google search on 'XXX tutorial' (replacing XXX with the technology - MySQL, PHP, AJAX etc)

Hi bchaib,
That's fine. the points I made about the technology I woud use still stand. What have you decided to go with? If you needany help with specific parts of the project then post a question here on The Scripts with as much detail as you can and always use code tags for code.

Hello dear nathj
I am going to use the list you posted :-)
1. MySQL as the database
2. PHP for the dataprocessing server side
3. JavaScript for client side scripting
4. AJAX for processing between the client a server side
5. HTML and CSS for the display.

Without Ajax because I don't have the basic understanding of this technology and sure I shall ask the questions come up during my exercices. :)

kind regards
