Apart from PHP, you've got the choice of Perl, Ruby, Python and Java. All of these will do the job, albeit just differently. It depends on what you are comfortable with. I would say just use PHP though, because most basic hosting plans already provide it. If you truly do not want to use PHP, then you will have to ask your host about the other four alternatives. 1 Like |

HOJOSKID: Honestly i don't know why you don't want to use PHP, I'll be posting a full tutorial on building something like that.. more of a CMS (Content Management System) Since all these programming languages don't control the look of the site but the server interaction and behavior, i suggest you work towards a good look and pick any language of your choice to get the job done, But are you ready to go through the learning curve? Not still convinced? Then checkout asp.net, watch these to get started https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wP5aBRYqv18 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVGKG2puGMs You can modify this http://www.codetoad.com/asp.net_forum.html to suite your needs and better understand. I hope this helps! |

What's all these talk about java, ruby, Python and co. So he cannot use vb.net..... Na wa o. If the OP is a vb.net programmer I will advice u do it with it since there is asp.net as a tool to use. In asp.net u write server side applications with .net languages like c#, vb.net, j# and so on. In fact d MVC architecture of asp.net will b an advantage. Not against the said languages but I think instead of beginning a new language from d scratch and b matured to d point of developing a forum, I think is a big task. So I believe instead of going for such an adventure into other languages while not channel ur energy towards becoming good with the language u know since d tool to use is there. 1 Like |

Is VB secure enough for a website? |
Re: Would Love To Develop A Forum by Nobody: 12:18pm On Jan 19, 2016 |
sinequanon: VB requires more devotion when it comes to security! https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa289516 PHP can make a website more secure, e.g: Through systematic password hashing. (Why do you think Facebook runs PHP?) Phython and the rest are also very good. |
Re: Would Love To Develop A Forum by sinequanon: 12:25pm On Jan 19, 2016 |
DanielTheGeek: You're asking me? You were the one who said to the OP, "pick any language of your choice". So, I was just suggesting that VB may turn into a security nightmare. Java is more secure than PHP. 1 Like |

Who told you that vb.net can't be used to design a forum? If you need help drop your number and I will add you to our whatsapp group. I found it easier in .Net environment than in any other platforms |
Re: Would Love To Develop A Forum by pumpindkay(m): 8:24pm On Jan 19, 2016 |
sinequanon: You can trust anything coming from Microsoft. Asp.net is great in security. Big organizations that taketh security to be their 1 priority are using it |
Re: Would Love To Develop A Forum by sinequanon: 8:53pm On Jan 19, 2016 |
pumpindkay: Some languages have better inbuilt security than others. For example, Java has automatic array boundary checking, and you cannot access memory directly with pointers. This avoids some of the buffer overflow hacking vulnerabilities in C++, for example. VB is hardly better. |

HOJOSKID:Guy 1st of all Vb.net is a software programming language. Forum is a web based platform. You need to know Html, Css, Php, Javascript and so many more for a complete forum. If you dont want to use Php, you can use Asp.Net, Jsp. If you want to build a forum like that of 2go, you must start from web before venturing to building its software version. 1 Like |

sinequanon: VB is mostly used for software programming language. |

mobaladf: Do you know of any hardware website? |
Re: Would Love To Develop A Forum by mobaladf: 10:49pm On Jan 19, 2016 |
sinequanon:I wish i could understand you. And by the way are u a Programmer. |
Re: Would Love To Develop A Forum by sinequanon: 11:07pm On Jan 19, 2016 |
mobaladf: mobaladf: A forum is a web application developed with a solution or software stack. If any component of the stack has security vulnerabilities, it compromises the entire application. Using VB in your solution stack, e.g for your business layer, can create security vulnerabilities, especially if your application is accessible to the public. |
Re: Would Love To Develop A Forum by mobaladf: 11:13pm On Jan 19, 2016 |
sinequanon: Okay just understand what u meant. Security shud be taken into consideration for last long |

Re: Would Love To Develop A Forum by Olumyco(m): 11:41pm On Jan 22, 2016 |
mobaladf: Guy u r funny o. Which programming language is not a software programming language? The word software is not limited to desktop apps alone. Any computer program developed is a software. For ur information vb.net can b used for desktop apps and for web apps (server side). U mentioned asp.net as part of what can be used. But do u know d dat asp.net is not a language. It's an architecture/platform for .net languages to build server side applications. So this is where vb.net comes in as one of d .net languages. Some pple r here talking abt security. This is a slap on Microsoft if it does has d issue. Even at dat... the issue of security is much rooted with d programmer ... Any site can fall victim of security issue. I respect java, Python and co but 2 me asp.net still make sense and cannot be pushed back. There are many sites out there using it. Forum sites like stackoverflow, MySpace. .... and other organisations like Dell, hp, Microsoft, and so on..... |
Re: Would Love To Develop A Forum by sinequanon: 12:00am On Jan 23, 2016 |
Olumyco: Microsoft came from a PC mentality, where security was low priority. They retrofitted security into most of their software. They have always had security and scalability issues. Remember SQL Server trying to catch up with Oracle and IBM? Remember all of Microsoft's shaky NT technology? IBM built its software for security and scalability from the ground up, because it was selling to businesses. Microsoft monopolized desktop software, and muscled its way into the business market by taking advantage of compatibility issues. Microsoft's best asp.net shot at a secure language was C#. VB doesn't even come into the reckoning. Gosling further said that "[C# is] sort of Java with reliability, productivity and security deleted."[13][14] Yeah, he would say that, but it would not surprise me, because retrofits are generally not the most secure or scalable software. |
Re: Would Love To Develop A Forum by Olumyco(m): 1:03pm On Jan 23, 2016 |
sinequanon: Yea Microsoft and security. They r learning their lessons gradually and dey must improve but the issue of security is much rooted in d hand of d coder. There r many new and best practices out there. U cant tell me dat Microsoft is not improving Vb. net like c#. I can tell u dat if u know hw to go abt it u will surely b safe. Technologies like json, and other NoSQL databases r there 2 use. There is a dll for json already by Microsoft for using json. Besides I do know dat c# is d leading language among d .net languages. |

Instead of bothering yourself in developing your own forum site, I suggest you use open source forum softwares. They will speed your development time and you will tend to get help when you are lost, most of them are free self. Consider the following forum softwares: phpBB (http://www.phpbb.com) Vanilla Forum (http://vanillaforums.org) myBB (http://www.mybb.com) Simple Machines Forum (http://www.simplemachines.org) YaBB (http://www.yabbforum.com) ..... Impossible is nothing |
