Re:Ask YC: Learning Web Development, were should I start? on Tuesday February 26, 2008 @11:37AM (#123949)

My advice is to pick a language and go from there. Start with either PHP, Ruby or Python. Once you are comfortable with the inner workings of the language, then move forward with an agile development framework. Depending on which language you finally chose you will find open source frameworks for each:

Ruby: Ruby on Rail, Merb PHP: CakePHP Python: Django

I truly think that understanding the language itself will help a lot before jumping into the framework.

Re:AskYC: Bookmarklet or Toolbar on Tuesday February 26, 2008 @11:30AM (#123945)

Wow.. thanks everyone for the valuable advice..

After reading through all the comments, I do feel Bookmarklet is the way to go. However my only concern with Bookmarklets is there's no way on updating an user's bookmarklet automatically, so if you need to change something, you pretty much have to email all your users to remove their current bookmarklets and setup the new one. correct?

from the self-post dept.

I'm starting a new stealth project and this project will have social-sharing features where users can bookmark a site/page and indicate they like a site, much like stumbleupon/delicious. But I'm not sure if a bookmarklet script is good enough or a FF extensions would work out better. Any advice?
