HTML, CSS, PHP, ASP

It depends on your needs. If you need a static page you can make it only by using HTML and CSS. If you want a dynamic page (with database etc) you should have to know PHP or ASP and simple SQL commands.

Start with a framework
May 29, 2014 12:46AM PDT

There are many factors when it comes to development, but I would consider the big three to be:

1. Security
2. Performance
3. Maintainability

A framework often provides you with a pretty good foundation having those three in mind. It also forces you to think and learn about best practices like coding syntax, programming patterns, testability, localization, authentication, and more.

On top of that, if you're starting out learning a new language, the code you "write" is initially pieced together by examples and tutorials on how to solve isolated problems, but that doesn't help with having an overarching and cohesive application in the end. In addition, the examples you find online may not follow best practices and may not even teach you the right thing.

Two frameworks I would suggest you look into are:

1. Yii - A proven and sustainable framework that really takes the big three to heart
2. Laravel - A newcomer that has gained a lot of traction for its easy of use and intuitive feel

Both would be good choices for most projects. Seeing as you're just starting out, it would be very difficult to research the best possible framework for your particular project, so considering you have to start somewhere to learn so that you're later able to compare, both of those frameworks mentioned would be a good place to start.

This depends on the requirement and type of service. Dynamic/Static, type of database you like to use (again based on feature you require)
Medium - large site, you can go with iis7/asp.net/MS SQL

Answer
Bad question.
May 27, 2014 11:54PM PDT

As the goal is fastest download time the winner would be FTP, but that's not too friendly is it?
The next fastest (now I am not putting this up for debate) is a torrent but again we fail on friendly.

You may want to revisit your goals and strike a balance.

Sadly there is too much spam from that city/country.
May 28, 2014 4:29PM PDT

I would not know where to begin to differentiate the good from the bad. Because we don't want spam you may find posts with such advertising to silently vanish here.

Web site coding

HTML and CSS is the user friendly coding for creating web pages. If you are creating static wep pages these two things are enough but if you are creating dynamic web pages you should know little bit coding of PHP and Java script.
