/prog/ - webdev with Lua

Your experiences, /prog/ ???

I haven't done very much webdev before, but I figure just about anything's better than PHP.

You "figure" wrong. Next time try working with things you want to "figure" by yourself rather than rely to high-school experts on the Internet.

Eh, don't know where else to ask. /prog/ can usually provide good answers in between trolling.

If you know Lua it'll work fine for you. Just know that library support will be weaker than with PHP or Perl or whatever. Whatever you do, don't use PHP.

Oh, and don't do web dev. If you're a decent programmer it will make you suicidal. If you're still learning it will make you into the worst kind there is. For these reasons I don't think /prog/ is really a good place to bring it up.

Hahaha
Lua was intended as an embedded scripting language for a reason. Use something else for the web.

You can use whatever you want for web development. Scheme, Haskell, a ruby microframework, emacs org-mode pages, brainfuck, hell even something as braindead as PHP.

C was intented as a low-level system programming language. Doesn't stop people from programming websights with it though. (CGI with C programs is fucking fast by the way)

Use any flexible, decent language with a good database interface as a backend. Use a templating language for the front. You could even use PHP for that, but why bother?

I meant embedding in other languages, but yeah, I get ye.

In short: http://refactormycode.com/ (See also: http://php.net/)

Problem: if you're new to programming you might not know what's so terrible about all that. For now, take it on faith that it is sufficiently nasty and contemplate the following: these are the people who are setting the standard, developing the frameworks, and willing to help you and other web developers.

Might as well include http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/full-text/book/book.html on that list of URLs.

Until I saw this website I had never actually wanted to punch someone actually in the anus. And I web developer for a living.

Really? I thought http://php.net/ was much worse.

php is a good place to start. hosting is cheap and you don't need to set anything up server side.

people use more advanced languages like ruby, python, etc.. because they're not just building sites but web based applications.

let the project your working on determine the most appropriate language/platform for implementation.

It's funny that they support syntax highlighting for HASKAL and Scheme, yet you'll never find any posts for those among the god-awful PHP and Ruby.
