What are the Tools I need?

Awesome Community,

I am a web developer and I want to be more advance, I want to build something really useful. I wanted to start on having a secured login page, I already have the design, HTML template and so on...

I need your suggestion what do I need to learn first before I make it interactive just like how Facebook Login works.

Thanks in advance guys :)

A big fish to fry here, is what back end language do you want to use?

Hi thank you for your reply, just want to ask what is the best way to do this the most secured way available. Is it PHP ?

There is no best way, and security is not based on the language used. Security is based on the ability and skills of the developer, and some best practices that can be apply across any language.

The best language is the one you feel most comfortable in. Php is fine, as are any others. I've written login features for fun in php, ruby, and javascript. All 3 work fine, and had equal potential to be secure. Python is another popular option.
