Well ASP seems to be the program language of choice when you are dealing with high level interactive websites & e-commerce. Other languages to consider also are JavaScript, Perl/CGI and PHP. It all depends on what kind of server you are using whether it is UNIX or Windows 2000. If you are not famaliar with these programs languages, you can get books that will teach you these languages. SAMS Teach Yourself books are very user-friendly and are geared towards the beginner. You may wanna try those first. You can go to your local bookstore or get them at amazon.com. I believe they have books on all of the languages I mentioned earlier. I would start with HTML and JavaScript first and then work your way up. There are plenty of scripts available online to use and implement in your site. The core of them usually gives you good instructions on how to use them. Feel free to e-mail me if you have any more questions.
