i am new in this area anyone pls suggest from where i have to start to develop the web , in which langauge, on which platform etc.etc.

Depends on what type of a site you want to develop, your expertese and the type of budget you have.

dear JTO,

no need to worry about it. first of all you should browse on sites. you will get a clear picture on it. at the same time start learning "photoshop" 'dreamweaver" "flash" and fireworks.

next you start designing site by taking example templates. all those things take 1 month. after that you are a prof. designer.

i sugg. you read this book "Code Complete" it is very good book. you can understand what is s/w how easy it is?

thanks

hello hkNori
pls give the name of publication .
thank u.

for web designing use dreamwearver bible. in india IDG books are releasing it.

for code complete it is from microsoft press W.P.Publishers & distributors (p) ltd, Author Steve McConnell

I recommend to use visual studio.net and to write on c#. this is profesional tool.
