    Web Program question from a noob O.o

    OK so i don't know if this is posting in the best place to reach my answer but i have a simple question. I am creating a website and a part of that site i want to implement a program that essentially is a multiple choice, Q & A, ending in the designated answer. I did programming in middle school for a semester, that program was Pascal (a 100 floppy disc program XD). I remember something to the effect of, if a then it will cause this response, etc. So I'm really hoping that my biggest problem will be all the data entry...

    I hope that makes sense....lol.

    any guidance or direction is greatly appreciated.

    thanks

    There are many languages to choose from. What type of computer do you have? Is it a PC, a Mac, Linux based?

    Since you are on Windows you might be interested in developing a website using C#.

    You'll need a compiler and debugger. Microsoft has an excellent one in Visual Studio 2017 Community edition. It's a free download:

    Next, you'll need an online tutorial on creating a web site:

    I don't know whay WebMD is, but understand that you can program a website in many different languages and host it using many different environments.

    Trying to do exactly what a site has done is less important than learning how to program, create websites and so on in the language you've chosen.

    I've offered a compiler and tutorial in C#, but that certainly isn't the only option.

    Whatever language you choose, you'll need to start with an online tutorial or take a class. There is a lot to learn. Good luck.
