Thanks for all the help. I"m really gratefull. btw, I'm gonna learn php (I've already started learning php5 with the help of one those "Visual" books) and mysql, really learn x/html, javascript, css and xml and start the forum.Again, Thanks

Thanks. Since I have the time and not much money, I'll learn and php and ?mysql? I think I know mysql/sql has something to do with databases, how exactly will that help me? and what's the difference between mysql and sql?I'll do search and find out. Just thought I'd ask first thoughThanks

I'd like to start a forum, but need some direction. Okay, I know x/html, css, javascript and am learning xml and would like to start a forum focusing on these languages. I don't know php. Some questions I have are: Should Ilearn php and then try to set up a forum from scratch myself?hire someone to set up the forum and learn php as I go?use the ready made template provided by a free forum software company such as simplemachines.org or phpbb.com?Any of your opinions/thoughts are appreciated.Thanks

question:I have a css book published 2001-2002. I am wanting to learn css to use with javascript and ajax...so i'm wondering if i'm better off buying a new css book, or if css hasnt changed much should i just use the older book?thanks
