I am not sure whether this is the right forum, but it's the most relevant I could find! If it's not if you could point us in the right direction I'd appreciate it!
I'm a student at Leeds University studying New Media in my third year and I've just started planning for my final year project. The gist of my project is to create an online diary similar to livejournal with a twitter feel but far more specialised towards my target audience.
I'm having trouble deciding which programming language language to write it in. I am only offering the journal facility to a certain group of people. I want them to have their own space and I want the readers/followers (family and friends which they have approved) to be able to post different forms of media (music/videos/images/news articles) after each diary entry.
Having discussed it I was advised to use one of the following:
- PHP using a wordpress cms
- DNN & c# / visual basic
- Coldfusion & a CMS
I was wondering what anyone else's thoughts were? I've some experience with CF but none of the others. I have to create it by May so I need to be able to realistically learn and implement a language by then!
Any advice would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
Abi
