For those new to web development, the idea of creating your own web page can be daunting. But if you break down your requirements to the bare minimum, it’s easy to see that to create a bare bones static webpage with minimum styling, all you need to know is HTML and CSS. As you start building up on your website and decide to incorporate a few frills, starting with forms and pop-ups and ending with complex web application-like behaviour, you’ll most likely use Javascript and its dependent frameworks. In addition, if your website would be handling large amounts of data and will need to store, update/modify and delete said data, you’ll need to incorporate custom functionality for your database. This is where server-side languages such as PHP and MySQL and frameworks such as ASP.NET come in.
