looking for some help here. does anyone know what code and software i would need to learn and own to create a website like this: http://www.uberprints.com/studio/

asp, php, sql, flash, etc..

ASP and PHP are two competing frameworks that let you do things like access and crunch data ( this is where SQL comes in ) and render it into internet content Flash is another form of presenting content - you can do similar things with html and javascript a lot of the time, but not always.

Basically, you can't just pick one out of the list and run with it. All of those technologies have their own role, and a lot of web sites are systems, more than just applications of one particular technology.

Which OS do you have now? Linux or Windows?
You need just a notepad or any text editor to learn PHP.
your first resource for learning PHP is http://manual.php.net

For ASP and ASP.net you need to have a Windows XP machine with IIS installed in it. It is also easy to learn.

Post your questions in this forum.

First analyze yourself, your intests, the resources you can arrange etc. Then select a technology.

PHP is almost a free solution but ASP will cost you a bit. You can go for ASP.NET but it will take a bit of your time in learing. So make a choice after conducting a feasibility.
