Where to start?

[pikeadz]

I have been investing in Bitcoin since December and have tried many of the services, bought GPU mining farms, ASICS, and feel I have a good, albeit very basic understanding of the block chain and cryptography.  I have had some ideas that I'd like to design web sites for down the line, but I am not a web designer or programmer.  

I have taken a C++ course years ago, so I would not be new to coding, but all it was was basic problem solving.  I am currently taking the MIT open courseware course on Python.  Can anyone recommend the most useful way to go about learning enough on my own to design a functional web site?  Most of my ideas are very general and I don't want to detail them here for obvious reasons, but I am curious how many of you got your start.  

I am not talking about developing QT or anything massive.  Just small, donation-supported or scripts that I would implement on a monetized web site.  What do you all think?

Just a friendly bump for anyone with some advice.  There are so many languages out there and I am just wondering which ones would be most useful to learn in the context of bitcoin. Thanks.

I would suggest moving the post (you can do so yourself) to a better section of the forum.

I am really confused now.  My post was about coding and developing web sites and useful programs unique to bitcoin.  I posted in "Development."  It was moved to trading... why, I'm not sure?

Anyway, anyone here have any advice lol...

What do you mean by a functional website?

Websites nowadays are mostly: complex applications (think gmail, google docs, google maps, spotify for web), front ends to large server applications (bitcoin exchange, search engine, etc) or simple web pages (blog, company websites).

• If you are just talking about a couple of webpages with information you don't need to do any programming really.
• Are you talking about creating a platform for trading (graphs, etc), in that case you probably want to look at client side stuff like javascript (and some server stuff to keep xxxx websockets open).
• If you want to create something user oriented like a community or something you probably want to invest in server side stuff like python (maybe the django framework), ruby (RoR) or even PHP
