Ask HN: What are best resources for a Java developer to learn web programming?

4 pointsby TWAndrewsover 13 years ago
I spent the first 7 years of my career as a Java developer, but I haven't seriously coded for almost a decade. I have an idea for a web product that I'd like to develop, and I'd like to get a beta version put together to feedback from prospective customers before I think about quitting my job to pursue it.<p>To that end, I need to get a handle on the various technologies used in web development (i.e. I need to do more than just learn JavaScript).<p>What are some good resources for getting started?

Depends on what stack you want to develop in. For an MVP you could try:<p>Ruby 1.9.2, Rails 3.1, HAML, SASS, jQuery, MySQL 5.5<p>It might not be the stack you end up with, but you'll learn enough building that to get started.<p>Start here with the free online book, it's as good of a place as any: <a href="http://ruby.railstutorial.org/" rel="nofollow">http://ruby.railstutorial.org/</a>

In the LAMP or WAMP stack you would need to learn PHP, MySQL, JavaScript + JQuery and of course HTML and CSS.
