There are 2 major program language for dynamic sites being used: PHP and ASP.\nPHP is used the most on the internet. A simple PHP script to would look like this:\n<?\n$a=4;\n$b=6;\necho $a." + ".$b." =".($a+$b)\n?>\n\nAn other language also used for dynamic websites is Coldfusion.

eBay listings are writen in html, so you need to do some study.\n\nIt is easy to learn as you can see the source file for web pages by just using the menu option view - source and you can then see the source html for most web pages and with a little effort work out how the page was made.\n\nIt can be best to start with simple pages.\n\nYou will also need some web space on which to host images to add to your listing\n\nHave a look at this site for more help with this\nhttp://www.ukauctionhelp.co.uk

I prefer simple and use webalizer.  But if you're looking to do it yourself, the perl module Apache::ParseLog (available on CPAN) is useful and includes examples.  PHP probably isn't as good a choice as perl or python.

Hi,\n\nThere are really simple website builders that can help you with what you want to do - but you need to subscribe to their hosting services.  One of the cheapest I know is at \n\nhttp://www.powerpill.com.sg/BestWebHosting.html \n\nThese website builders are also integrated with Paypal.  What you need is to sign up with Paypal for an account.  Once you have this, the rest is simple.

There are several platforms out there where you can do automated trading. This is very very difficult to do though. It is hard enough to make money trading while you are siting there watching. Anyway. I am pretty sure TradeStation will allow you to do this. It may take a little time to learn the programming language though.

I use Timbercreek Software's SOLD http://www.timbercreeksoftware.com/ and I find it very easy to use and provides me with everything I need in managing all my auctions. \n\nI love its capability to run customized reports (especially during tax time), manage the auctions, manage my customer database, and make ebay listing and relisting a breeze (the fact that I don't have to pay to schedule listings is already a lot of help). Support is also very good. I've used it since 3 years ago, and I am totally hooked to it.

If you're serious about making a website try this product http://www.buildit.sitesell.com/Peter21.html\n\nThis program has all of the best tools to help your site succeed. Everything is included, from the domain name, to the space (which is unlimited) etc. The program also includes a tool which grades each page for you (so you can tell if it'll attract a lot of people) and submits them to search engines. I have no experience yet I've built a site that I'm actaully earning money from. You don't need t know any html. It's great!

There is a page-scripting language based on VB called VBScript.  VBScripts will run in FrontPage.\n\nYou would be better off getting a "shopping cart" for your dad's site.  I am using CubeCart to build an ecommerce site.  Their software is free, but branded.  For under $100, you can remove the branding, and save yourself the headache of reinventing the wheel.

I am, on my forum always http://www.campusinteractive.com/forum/\n\nEnjoy

parkerjr2 is right about learning a bit more stuff.\n\nYou might also consider godaddy which has templated sites, forums, shopping carts and so on. Not expensive either.\n\nNothing prevents you from having your site and forum on one host and the shopping cart on another (yahoo has a shopping cart service which many people use - you don't even realize it's yahoo until you check out).

They use a ton. Primarily the actual sending and recieving of mail is CDO. The webpages are built on a lot of Server-side scripting to draw out your inbox etc. Many probably use ASP, ASP.net, PHP, etc. What you actually see is HTML and CSS, and client side scripting is JavaScript.\n\nIf you want to make an e-mail program and don't know what any of the above abbreviations are, good luck. If you want to get started this is a good place:\n\nwww.w3schools.com
