Too many web technologies! Decision criteria needed.
There are so many technologies out there for creating websites, that it's ridiculous for a newbie to figure out what to use!
Can somebody please list out all my options in terms of the technologies out there, and provide some decision criteria for each one that would help me decide what to learn and use? I'm very confused, and any help would be much appreciated.
Could you please list out my options in terms of the following:
- client-side scripting (e.g. JavaScript)
- server-side scripting (e.g. ASP)
- databases (e.g. Oracle)
- server (e.g. Apache)
- operating system (e.g. Linux)
The ones I listed as examples above are just the first ones that came to my mind. I, by no means, know all of my options, and therein lies my problem.
If somebody could please list out all my options, as well as provide decision criteria, that would be very helpful. I've tried researching on the web, but there's no source that provides reliable answers to all of the above.
Thank you so much.
P.S. Are there any web technologies that I have neglected to list above? (I imagine web development might involve more technologies than what I listed above.)
