Creating Dynamic Website

Can someone help me. Where do I have to start in order to create a dynamic website? I want just a webpage where the user can enter for example his name and his age in the webpage then his data will be saved in a database? then what should I learn to create a chart from those data?

Thanks to all of you for you kindly response. However, I already took some SQL course and SQL server, now I know who to create a database, but what I don't know that who to export my data to a webpage? the available courses teach you who to create a database and how to manage the server, but it does not teach you who to export your data to a html webpage?

I don't know, you need to figure a bit out, try this link here and if, look at other yt tutorials, i mean, just search SQL on google and it will deffinitelly help you. Is straight forward so you will understand it.

Well if you want to create a web app (dynamic website), why not learn to use a framework like Ruby On Rails, Start with the Ruby On Rails track, there you will find how to create web apps really fast and easy.

It takes lots of dedication and understanding to learn RoR. He can do it, it's jsut if he get discouraged then i recommend to live RoR and go with PHP :)

You're wrong, Rails is the easiest framework for start and make awesome apps

Your forgetting thats it's not just Rails.. you need to know terminal and more stuff to it. Sure, Rails itself can be easy, but its not just Rails.

Hey, everyone are different :)

Well, if you go to PHP track, and do it, it will show you a bit on how it works. You want to use SQL, i mean, i believe.

You need MAMP or Xamp or whatever. SOme local server.

You could use MongoDB too, but i didn't do it so i can't tell you about it.

It's pretty straight forward.

if submit button, the fileds get inserted into the database in collumns age and name. Database called users for example.

Well, what i mean is lthat you can use it pretty easy and see results stragith away.

Look at some SQL websites tutorials or something. LIke PHPAcademy or Codeacademy and so on.

Hope this helps somehow.
