How Do I Build A Forum Like Nairaland? by pxjosh(m): 9:04pm On Jun 19, 2016
Good evening all,

I've been considering building a forum like Nairaland for quite sometime, with a whole different section, for a targeted class of people.

I've done my little research, and as at 2013, I learnt Seun built Nairaland with SMF/Php, and currently he has switched over to Python.

I really don't know the reason for the switch, but I've observed that Nairaland loads so fast & I think its probably because its coded with Python.

Now, if Nairaland now runs with Python, can I do something with Python using an easy framework (as compared with SMF), or need to do all the coding from the scratch?

Pls comments are needed asap. Thanks

use the programming language you know, you should use a framework cuz it will speed up the whole process

It doesn't really matter what language you use now, maybe when you forum get more traffic you can consider switching to a faster environment

I built this with php naijatechclub and no hazzles yet

does one need to learn SQL to be able to build a forum from scratch?

If you intend to use a relational database, then Yes, you would need to learn SQL (Structured Query Language) or an alternative Query Language.
