Hey /g/, need some programming advice. First off, i am a complete programming noob. I've programmed in C++ before but have mostly forgotten it. I can read most code and get the basic jist of what it does, but can't write for shit.
The programs basic function is for details (such as name, email address, gender, etc) to be put into a form. After hitting "Go" or whatever, a username and password is generated and copied into a form on a webpage used for registering an account with a company. Once the account is made, a "Welcome!" e-mail is sent to the e-mail address associated with the account made. However, every user that uses this program has their own page they use for registering accounts, so will need to enter their personal URL into the form at some point. Every field on the unique page is the same though.
This is purely meant so that we can ask people to make accounts with our company through paper forms or on a clipboard with a pen. Employees have their own personal URL because they earn commission for each sign up they collect.
We already use a system that does this, but its extremely inefficient and doesn't speed up the process all that much.
I've already had some advice on this. I've been told to use a high-level language such as Python. I've never used Python in my life - can anyone recommend me some decent guides/communities/books? Are there other tools/languages i will have to use to do this?
