All you need to know: HTML, PHP, MySQL, and some CSS could help.
In the MySQL database, you’ll store the “ads” themselves, as well as the accounts that people register with. Use the PHP to draw the information from the database, and with the help of HTML, display it neatly on the page.
Feel free to contact me on any specific questions.
Hi there,
it seems craiglist uses a database behind the content, the simplest you could use is mysql which is free and access which comes with most PCs(office), for the pages you need another web development language like php, jsp, asp.net, coldfusion. If you dont know any of those please i would recommend you to learn Coldfusion or php.
Hope this helps and good luck!!
How you go about doing it is first realizing that Craig’s List is *NOT* “a simple website”, it’s quite a complex website, incorporating a lot of heavy computer programming. So you spend a few years becoming competent at programming … oh, you only have 4 years, so if you’re not already a pretty good programmer, you can’t do it. You could start learning, though, and some day you’d be able to. Concentrate on programming first, then databases. Then learn a few programming languages, like SQL, PHP and Javascript.
