Hi Everyone,
I am just looking to build a website that interacts with other websites. Ex: digg and reddit just add their buttons on different sites so that users of those other sites can come and do things in their sites. I am also planning something like that. Not much graphics. Just a decent looking site like digg.
Yes, I understand that security depends on how I write my code. My question is, is it enough to learn
ASP.net,JavaScript,ADO,
HTML,
CSS for building a decent looking site. I have no knowledge of flash,Actionscript,
AJAX etc.
Secondly, Do I need WebServices for interacting with other websites? I just provide the code or
HTML to place my button on websites that are interested. So, when the users click on that button, they are directed to my website(just like the D i g g (or) r e d d it buttons). To make the users more comfortable, I ask the website to give me some information to fill up in a few textboxes/fields, so that the users need not fill them again. ex: if the user clicked my button on a face book page, then he is directed to my website where he/she has to log-in and fill out a few fields like age etc. So, to make him/her feel comfortable and at eaz, I ask the facebook to send me some info like age,gender to fill up the fields when he/she clicks on the button. What are the security issues that I have to handle? Any books reccomendations?
For this task, do I need Webservices to interact with the other website.
TIA.
