hi friends,
I know C++, but someone talked about "web programming && designing with C++". It was interesting for me, because I don't know how to do that? Is there anybody knows that? And can give me some information about it?

(and sorry for my english, if my message has a mistake..)

You can use C++ for web applications, but it's only useful if speed is an issue. Google use C++ plus a custom templating system for their search pages, if I recall correctly.

For most use cases, C++ is overkill. It's akin to using a 100 ton lumber cutting machine to cut a two-by-four. There are far better languages for the job.

However, there are various C++ CGI interfaces available if you really insist; just google that phrase. One of them is CGICC.

I really recommend you try something like PHP, however. C++ is hardly ever used for web applications - and for very good reasons.

C#.net ?

You'd be talking about ASP.NET in combination with C# there.

It might be possible, but I haven't heard of people using it for web programming and designing.
I have heard people using C and Perl for CGI based applications, but not C++.

You can choose ASP / JSP / PHP for developing web applications along with XHTML and CSS for formatting!

i have a c++ cgi program that gets information from mysql database. didn't seem to be an extreme overkill for me.

(if i'd only knew php...)

Booooze

Hmm, interesting topic. Never heard much about C++ and CGI. I figured C and Perl for CGI but, not C++. Anyways, I figure Arevos is right. C++ would seem like overkill, and I imagine PHP would probably get the job done easier, and with less code.
