Joe Beginner huh? Is this just complaining that web development is hard? Seriously, why don't I start a rant saying: "hey building a house is hard, how the heck are us beginners supposed to do it?". If you want a web-site made easy use Wordpress or something else that provides what is needed for basic scenarios out of the box. If you are expecting standard interfaces for web-servers, programming languages and web standards that are not going to change regularly as software development matures as a profession you are insane. Just take an example of something that is already relatively standard like SQL, now write some SQL for MSSQL and then switch to Oracle... Lets face it beginners should not be building non-trivial web applications where things like scaling matter. At least not on their own, and if they do they should expect it to be a challenge and a difficult learning process they will need to dedicate themselves to. .NET tried this, they wanted to make web development as easy as drag-and-drop. In the end .NET ended up with two things: 1. A ton of absolutely crap legacy spaghetti code in corporate web applications 2. An group of developers who never really learned how to write code or understand the first thing about real web development.
