Title: Getting back into coding, still kind of a newbie... Buzzfeed.com? Post by: MagicBit15 on June 28, 2013, 07:23:29 PM Just recently resigned up at https://teamtreehouse.com/ (If you want my referral link feel free to PM ;D)
And I wizzed through the css html and jquery, they have awesome courses btw. Going on to other languages I am working on my own website along the way. Everything is going well, I just would like to know what a website like buzzfeed.com or any other of those blog news funny websites are written in. It can't just be wordpress, although I know some parts of buzzfeed has themes. Any coders out there that know the type of languages used. I know it's the kind where writers on the staff log in, write articles, and then it gets posted. (The updates are so quick and they have such a big staff) But I am going for a similar/not so similar thing. So any vets have any idea what languages they use beside the obv html, css, php. Or the kind of software to enable that website to update so fast. Tl:Dr; What programming language is Buzzfeed.com written in. P.S. I think this is the right board :P Title: Re: Getting back into coding, still kind of a newbie... Buzzfeed.com? Post by: MaTachi on June 29, 2013, 01:19:00 AM The site could be written in almost anything, and it doesn't really matter. If you want to learn how to code, just pick a suitable language and do stuff.
Python is a good language to start with since it's very versatile and has a big community with lots of modules and frameworks. A very popular web framework to Python is Django. But learn the language, regardless of which you start with, before you start diving down into frameworks. Another popular language is Ruby with its web framework Ruby on Rails. However, I have personally never touched Ruby. PHP is also always an option. But I'm questioning if it's such a good language for anything really, considering the vast amount of better alternatives. Here is a very good page with lot of criticism against PHP: http://me.veekun.com/blog/2012/04/09/php-a-fractal-of-bad-design/ And here is some PHP lulz: http://www.reddit.com/r/lolphp/ Title: Re: Getting back into coding, still kind of a newbie...
