    Hello, One of my friend needs some help in creating a website for teaching sign language(for deaf people). I am more into Software development rather than website. So what do you all suggest, which language would be the best for this option. Website will include video clips and all for teaching sign language. Would ASP.Net gonna be suitable for this or if any other platform then please let me know. Keeping in mind it would be a volunteer work.Any further information related to this would be appreciated. Thank You James

      The core question is, what does he know ? I like ASP.NET a lot, but if he knows PHP, perhaps he should use that. All of those frameworks are engines for spitting out HTML, that's all they do. The one he's most productive in, is probably the best one to use. If he doesn't know any, then especially if he knows OO development in general, I'd say C#/ASP.NET.

        Well actually he wants help from me and i have never developed any website except one in HTML quite a long time ago. I know C#,C++,Java language but now i want to learn some web development language as well.. so this project will be a good option for me to learn it..It would be easy i guess, but i don't understand which language is best for which type of website. Can i implement any sort of website(normal site without any database) with ASP.Net or only data driven website. I know even HTML can do the job for normal sites but if ASP.Net can be used to develop any sort of website then i would definitely go for that. Thank You James

          Back in 1999, Microsoft used to have a very helpful group whose purpose was to aid developers in using their products to provide applications usable by the handicapped. You might want to find out if its still around.

              ASP.NET is an engine for creating HTML. If you don't want anything data driven, just don't use any data driven controls. No problem.

                          Something I've been interested in learning from watching "The L Word". ;) It would be cool if everyone learned it so you could communicate at loud concerts or to other people in other cars who cut you off (more eloquently). Is there no pre-made tutorials type site already on the net where you could simply slot in the content without having to build anything? There are some pretty professional sites out there, of course I can't think of one at the moment but I've come across them from time to time, they have videos etc.

                                Sure. Like CG said, all of these web development frameworks are just engines for generating HTML/CSS/JS, nothing more. So you can definitely add AJAX stuff to it later. There's even an ASP.NET AJAX toolkit to help you do it. :)

                                  AJAX basically means using javascript to make asyncronous calls and then update the page without a refresh. Microsoft did not invent it, you don't need to use their library to use AJAX. Either way, AJAX, either vanilla or with a library, can be added to your pages at any time.

                                    Is there no pre-made tutorials type site already on the net where you could simply slot in the content without having to build anything?

                                    Not sure if this will have what he needs, but the ASP .NET starter Kits are pretty nice, especially when one is first diving in to programming sites. http://www.asp.net/community/projects/[^]

                                        Sorry, no. But I found them by calling Microsoft's Support and explaining that I was trying to design a single app for both the sighted and the blind. They transferred me over to a very helpful woman who sent me stuff, pointed to online stuff and gave me a couple of contact numbers that I made use of during the project. This was 1999 so a lot of things have changed since then, but I would guess that this would still be something they supported.

                                          Hello, One of my friend needs some help in creating a website for teaching sign language(for deaf people). I am more into Software development rather than website. So what do you all suggest, which language would be the best for this option. Website will include video clips and all for teaching sign language. Would ASP.Net gonna be suitable for this or if any other platform then please let me know. Keeping in mind it would be a volunteer work.Any further information related to this would be appreciated. Thank You James
