Create your website in BASIC...!
Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Create your website in BASIC...! and using asp.net to do it is not much fun at all :(
to create a website in blitzbasic you have to be able to install executables on a server right?
Most internet hosts dont allow you to do this unfortunetly

OK, I like Basic as much as the next guy, but this is kind of a stretch. :-?
Use the right tool for the job and all that...

Yucky BASIC, at that.

Yes, you could use one of those fancy scripting languages like Ruby or Python... Which, in all honesty, are syntactically extremely similar to modern BASIC dialects.
Or you could use ASP.NET... with Visual Basic.NET! Another Basic, but this one is - by design - functionally equivalent to C#.
And since ASP.NET is very popular and since Visual Basic is one of the most popular programming languages... You can safely say that Basic is the right tool for the job. ;-)

You can always rent a (virtual) server, that gives you full control over your platform. :)
What I DO like is the automatic session control and the easy integration mySQL into the command set. Its very easy and quick to use.
Yes simple, non-standard, even clunky but my hats off to the developers for giving it a go.

I think php is much easier than basic for writing web apps, and much more standardized too, since you can just copy/paste some nice apps into it (like Magento), and the standard LAMP (=Linux+Apache+MySQL+PHP) which comes with every decent Linux server (openSUSE, Ubuntu, ...), is a no-brainer to install, just one mouseclick.
I actually use still Domino, and only recently tried out LAMP, but as LAMP has improved so much over the years, and it's already a standard and supported by millions of people, it seems it will kill all other web development environments in the future.

Didn't know Liberty BASIC was still around.
REAL pain-free web programming comes from using Python + Django.
Seriously, try it out, its insanely easy and awesome!
