Hi,
I’m going to develop a web site as a side business. I have already signed up with a hosting service. Years ago I wrote a program in MS Access / VBA to run a hockey pool targeted to sport teams for fund raising. I now want to re-create it as a web service. The site will be mostly data forms to be completed by the users with the entered data stored in a MySQL database. Other functions will display and report on db content, do some backend calculations and db entries, and ecommerce for them to licence the use of the program. I have old school programming experience in ‘C’ and have only dabbled in HTML and SQL. I’ve taken courses in C++ and Java only to understand OOP but have no practical web development experience. I have been told WordPress is the way to go which my hosting company supports. I’m looking for recommendations on development environments, software, addons, I should learn and use. Thanks!
