Which coding language should I use? Advice needed

[Guest]

I have a dream, ... That one day, I will be useful

But first I need some advice hahaha. I want to create a web based game which will only involve pictures, text and a level system. It is a game meant to learn a language.
After getting the survey that I made being filled in over a 100 Times it is noticeable that most people use a browser to learn  the targeted language. I Will add a lot of pages with text, a kind of shop system that they can use the coins they earn by studying to purchase more study material and such. And the lesson chapters will be like virtual novels. So I would also need a user login and a database on the site to save all progress that the people are making. Not sure how I can do this and if this will cause for a lot of space being used up on the VPN That I will have to use. Or should I use something else then a vpn for this kind of a thing? ^^"

I want to make this free for people and only add some adsense adds to the page to support this all. How can I best make this? Which scripting language should I use? (Means also which scripting language should I learn)

All the idea's have been drawn out and worked out til the finest detail. I have some previous experience with scripting but not much.

What would you recommend me to use? and can you give me advice and stuff on how I best handle this?
It is quite a strange thing I think to make a website in kind of a text based game form but I really want to make it like this. 
Please don't question my motivations to learn and make this possible. ^^ Also what would be the best idea for kind of hosting this?

javascript, html5, rails, grails, django, flask, ASP.NET MVC, sails, meteor...

MVC using HTML5, CSS, C#, and Jquery/Javascript.  Can host with Azure or Amazon.

Javascript and Html5
are the most common in my book
you can exerce different codes but these are the best and widely known with alot of tutorials

So there are 2 scripting languages needed that I have to get working together?
I will start looking up information if I can find a starting guideline for the goal I want to achieve.

HTML is a markup language, JS is for actual code

So HTML Is just like the basic to  order everything and JS is what actually makes things happens like buttons and such?

Indeed

It depends on how graphically nice you want it too. If you're doing simple static animations, then HTML, CSS, and JavaScript should be enough. If you want to do anything more, well, JavaScript and CSS can do it, but it can be cumbersome to work with.

So what if I should make an android app using Java, Can I then with html paste it on a site or is this impossible?
Or can I convert the android app to a program then?

No. Android apps use different principles from web apps for doing stuff. The only thing you can carry over are design ideas, not the implementation.

Thanks for your information! With knowing all of this I am not sure if a web game would be a good plan to be my first programming project xo
I will start using android, for that Java is needed right? Do I need anything else except for Java to code some sort of a game thing?

Sorry for my many questions but I appreciate your help sincerely 

You also need to get familiar with XML, but that's easy. But Android uses XML as the presentation language so to speak.

you know a good book or guide to get started  with xml and java for making android apps?

Not really. I had one but kind of got bored with Android programming after a short while.

When you say bored,... You mean it became to easy?  If it became to easy then it's porbably a good starting point for me ^^

Creating an android app is far from easy. I think a website would be far more easier but those are quite different things. If you want to do android I would advice you to start learning Java first. If you want to do web development then start with HTML (since that is the base) then to make it nice learn CSS (to style it) and if you want to add animations etc you will have to learn Javascript. When you know those you can create more advanced websites with database's etc. You can use multiple frameworks for it but these are the most common: PHP, Node.js, Ruby on Rails, ASP.NET.

No, it's just that I felt like I wasn't really going anywhere with it.

 

I also found it a little bit of a pain to set up.

xml is basically html where you can make up your own tags, though for android it will have names for things like buttons.

please read the comment above your reply and tell me your opinion

create an API that uses json or everything. This way you can use any language on any device to interact with your service. 

 

my git hub as a very simple blog that uses angular to make a request to a php file. This file gets the request and returns the blog posts as json.

 

you could use any language to make that request, I made a c# console application to read the blog.

this is just the way I would do it because of the languages i know its not the only way to do it.
