Ask HN: How do I go about building a bit complex website?

1 points by mem41 12y ago ↗ HN

I have been working in software since last 8 years. I am good at c++/.net and mostly worked on OS. Zero experience with websites. I want to build a website similar to HN or ProductHunt or Reddit (i.e. It will need good comment section, user profile, voting etc). Anyone has pointers to get me started (tutorial, samples, ...) ?

If you know C++, PHP isn't a far shot away. Many people dislike it, but it is very easy to use.

Don't take php, try node.js!
