Ask HN: What languages?

1 pointsby instakill16 lat temu4 comments

Hi

I've had a project up on the net for a while, and because I'm not a coder, progress has been out of my hands. For many reasons, I want to change this and either assist my partner or just plain take over due to current progress rate.

The project is an online press release aggregator and I'd like to find out what languages/databases I'd need to learn to carry on myself, and where I can find good tuts as well as compilers (for mac) for this?

Thanks

If some code has already been written, shouldn't you learn that language? If there's already a database in use, shouldn't you learn that database?

Talk to your partner and ask him what he coded it in, then start learning it. Also have a talk with him about management issues. It sounds like it's your project but it's not going according to an agreed-upon plan. Having a serious chat with him about it is probably a better place to start than just pulling the project from him.

Did you mean to post a link to the site to allow us to help you figure out which language it is in?

Seeing as most of the community here keep up to date with latest best practices, I figured that maybe it would be wiser to change to something that would offer more.
