Enterprise Web Design

Name: Anonymous 2010-07-20 22:17

I am a budding Computer Science major who has just finished his first year at the local college.  I have completed all the university-transferable introductory language courses offered (C++ and Java).  Never mind the language choice, I wasn't taught anything beyond, "This is your input.  This is your output.  This is your class.  This is your ENTERPRISE-level single-purpose line-saving enhanced for loop."

My mother, who is paying my way through college, is expecting to see returns.  She has asked me to create a website for her start-up business.  Of course I don't know how to do that.

And this, dear /prog/, is why I need your assistance.  If you could just be my guiding hand here and point out books, websites, good languages to start in, software, anything a novice web designer might find useful.

Yes, I have read my SICP.
No, I only understood about a quarter of it.
Yes, of course I'm going to read it again, but at the moment I must place priority on the material world.

And for the trolls, I do intend on taking everything said in this thread seriously, so please refrain from "trolling" as I will no doubt end up believing it.

If you choose Perl, download wakaba, install it, study it, make changes to it. When you've went through all code, you'll know enough about HTML, CSS, Javascript and Perl to make any site you like. Firebug add-on for firefox helps a lot. Remember that you can view source code of all web pages, so if there is a particular HTML/CSS/Javascript feature you want to have, just find a site that has it and borrow it.
