Total Newbie here about to jump in at the very deepest end.
I'm looking into HS as my way of controlling a number of different things, probably via a touch screen in the future. As a result I want to be able to control the basics and get statuses from a simple-to-use front-end (rather than the quite fiddly HS web interface).
I've been looking around the web discussions and seem to be getting more confused rather than less
My HTML skills are OK, and I have some programming experience (BASIC, C+ +). I recognise that I need to add a fair amount of interactivity to any web pages that I put together for use as a simple front-end, but I'm getting confused between ASP, VBscript, JavaScript etc. I've just about managed to realise that some are client-side and some are server-side, but I'm not sure which is the most appropriate for me.
Given that I'm going to have to go buy a few books and start studying, what would the Seers out there recommend? I'm eventually going to be more interested in simple graphical user interfaces on a touch-screen that will be running off a fairly small number of browsers (so don't have to worry too much about building sites to work in a number of different browser environments).
If someone's feeling very generous, could you give a quick "Dummies guide" to these different options?
Cheers,
Dan.
