Hello - and a few questions...

Hi,

I am fairly new to programming. Have been learning Html, CSS, and Javascript for a while now.

I have a few questions and did not see a forum tailored to what I would like to learn about. Hence, my questions are here.

I have an objective for the website I am creating; I would like to establish a fee-based email service.

I would like to know what language(s) I need to learn to do that. My email service, would, ideally, include encryption for both transmission and storage of files. Also, what other factors must I consider and learn about in order to host an email service? Costs?

Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

PHP would be essentially, IMO.

yeah, probably PHP and knowledge of perl would be the best, although perl would not be required to complete this, it would be handy.

Welcome to the forums. I also agree with PHP.

PHP most definitely... I would also use a MySQL for the database. May want to look into Tripple DES for the encryption. PHP has builtin email functions, which are nice. You could also code it in C# and make it a web service.

thanks all for the quick replies.

Pseudo Class- what is IMO?

Infinite Recursion- I do not understand; if I design the service with PHP, MySQL, and Tripple DES, how does C+ come into play? I am designing the service to be strictly a web service.

Can anyone recommend specific sites to learn from, regarding tutorials?
