Building A Web Framework To Do Anything On The Web Tech Part 1

Welcome to our series: Building A Web Framework To Do Anything On The Web! I’m going to show you what tools, methodologies and technologies I use (and that you should use) to build your own web applications/programs/sites. I’m going to divide this up into multiple parts and also multiple sub-sections: Technology, Design and 3rd party tools.
Step 1 in the Technology sub-section; I will be discussing the tools I use to build a site from scratch. Not a wordpress affiliate marketing site, but an actual website.
From the ground up – first we need a solid base upon which to build. CSS – can’t make a site without CSS. Here’s the framework I use:

boilerplate
CSS-Boilerplate: This is, IMO, the best CSS framework out there – it’s not the most complete framework, or the most scalable, etc – but pound for pound, it is clean, simple to use, and has an example file that gives you ever single thing you need to have to use the framework. I always sites with this framework. Love it!

 

images For web functionality these days, Javascript can do everything you need for making a rich interface – IMO, Javascript is quickly eclipsing Flash, Flex, and the DOA Microsoft technology Silverlight, for building feature rich, attractive and dynamic UI for websites.
JQuery: Yes, the most popular javascript framework on the web. There’s a reason for that. The best combination of usability, power, and flashy gadgets. If you want to do something with JavaScript, chances are excellent that someone has written a plugin to do it already.

PHP For Beginners To Intermediate PHP Lessons On Video

PHP is personally my web development language of choice – it may not be the best, in some people’s opinion, but for my money, they sheer speed that PHP allows you (In my experience, you can have a fairly solid website codebase up in about 15 minutes) and the shallow learning curve make it the most useful web development language.

In that spirit, I’m posting an awesome site that I found that has a huge collection of video tutorials on PHP – beginner code, secure code, and more. This really is a great idea – I’ve always liked being able to see and hear the stuff behind the theory and practice code. The site is http://videos.code2design.com/ Enjoy!
