title: Learning web-based programming for the C++ programmer
body: <p>I want to create a web-interface for a project I had in mind for a while. I have been programming in C++ (plus HLSL) professionally for the past five years, and learned various others in university (Java, VHDL, numerous assembly languages). </p>
  
  <p>I am searching for good resources to compare the different possibilities for web programming (javascript, php, python, ruby etc.). Performance and good APIs are my two main requirements. I want my project to scale and not have to write it again in another language as it gets bigger.</p>
  
  <p>I try looking for open source projects that are close to mine and look at the code of mozilla bespin (the closest I found to my project), which is mostly done javascript. Any cues on tutorials aimed at advanced programmers would be appreciated. I don't need to learn ifs and fors, but I do need to learn the basics of what is specific to web programming.</p>
