i don't know if it's useful and if it offers the features that we can find here

anw i wan't your advice on how to start to build one
what language to learn php, aspx... ? witch one is better...

Hello

Post by maboroshi »

Hello if your looking to have a good forum, there are many available PHPBB3 for example which is open source.

But if your looking to develop your own then I recommend PHP or Python, personally I prefer python. But in reality most scripting languages can build a forum. Perl PHP Python JSP and ASP are all good choices, ASP to a lesser extent

Research and find the language you like to develop in.

But if you are looking for a high quality forum already built then I recommend PHPBB3

Good Luck

don't forget that building an own forum platform is not a quick weekend project, no matter what language you use. whenever a user is allowed to actively interact with a public site it's potentially dangerous...and well, a forum is all about interacting (posting text strings), so your code has to be really well written and pen tested... :wink:

I also recommend phpbb3, it's free, widely used and well maintained...and there are lots of themes, add-ons and hacks available.

hosting it on one of my servers would be no problem, same with domain registration... :wink:
