You use PHP. Javascript is for jerks, just because I say so, I don't feel like comming with any reason whatsoever, do I care about how bad this opinion is? No, no I don't.

Javascript, with Node.js you can use Javascript as your server aswell.
Stay away from jQuery initially. Personally I never use any frameworks in my web stuff, I do everything with vanilla JS.

PHP is what you want to use.
For a more dynamic way... fill it with actionscript3.0 from adobe flash...

Although this is slow as ever to load, if it is used often it will cache.

@Robot
1.) Lua is not an acronym
2.) Lua doesn't suffice his web-design needs
3.) Lua is made for the actions-aspect of a game (The game - framework/engine = what lua is for)
4.) Don't post about things u don understand

There exists an HTTP server built on Lua.

I don't think you understand what I am talking about.

Using Lua and Guis, I took HTML code retrieved using HttpService and made my own browser.

Hi,

I may be able to help a little. I run a website based for a thousand users and have more than a year of solid web development teaching (from an online class).

The best way to do this would be to utilize a server language. Ignore the people who say "do not use PHP." PHP is the best for a beginner entering this field for server handling. That is because other languages you might hear of (Python or Ruby [on Rails]) are a bit more tasking to set up. You'd also need your own terminal access (which is usually only obtained through paid VPS).

I've used both PHP and Ruby on Rails for my website. Ruby appears more structured, but PHP is just easier. PHP is also downed by most people who CANNOT use it right. My website runs on one of the biggest PHP class systems I've seen, and makes the code a lot neater and more flexible.

People who are saying "use JavaScript," or the opposite, do not understand that JavaScript cannot broadly make use of the ROBLOX APIs. JavaScript is a client-based local language. NodeJS may be of help, but that is another server-script language. JavaScript can be helpful if you want to test one of the ROBLOX APIs in the browser or on the client's personal page (via AJAX) but not for a ROBLOX game using a web API.

Consider PHP, since every free host allows you to use it. Learning it properly can also prove to demonstrate how clean the language can be. I can help you with any web-dev problems as well.

Not unheard of.


I don't recommend JavaScript, because JavaScript is the devil.

No, NodeJS is JavaScript.

"No, NodeJS is JavaScript."

You must not know your way around web languages. NodeJS is a server-side JavaScript environment based on an event-driven I/O API structure.
