I%26#039;d like to host a web site that allows for ~200 users to create a profile with photos and text, where the general public can register to rank these profiles. (Pardon the ambiguity.) Maybe this can be done without reinventing the wheel?
I have some experience with Java and .NET, but minimal web programming experience (some html and CSS, and a bit of SQL).
There must be an easy way to do this, without having to do everything from the ground-up!
What%26#039;s the best approach to creating this web site?
You%26#039;ll probably find what you need as a CMS (Content Management System) There are many of these systems freely available.
Check out http://opensourcecms.org for a huge number of online CMSs you can test drive as administrator. (They auto-reset every hour or so) It wouldn%26#039;t surprise me if you found half a dozen CMS systems that would fit the bill, all for free.
Most of them don%26#039;t require a lot of programming skills to maintain, but programming and database capability can be useful when you set one up, or if you want to custimize it.
Most open-source CMS systems are written in PHP with a MySQL data back-end, but your Java and SQL experience will help here (a bit. The langauges are different, but the main idea is the same)
Good luck to you!
What%26#039;s the best approach to creating this web site?
There%26#039;s the open-source http://www.drupal.com written in PHP / MySQL, and the ASP.NET community also has the http://www.dotnetnuke.com open-source social networking portal
