When i first saw other people's comments, i jst laughed at their lack of knowledge in creating a forum sites. 4get about wat everyone is saying. Its easy but it takes alot to setup a forum site like nairaland. I use to fancy d idea until i develop strong interest for mobile game app sector. Well, no knowledge is a waste; at least today i can advise anyone on wat programming language to take in order to accomplish a specific task. @op, cuz dia are over 42 languages and each serve a purpose. first u need to learn d basics of html/css and is not dat compulsory as it applies to customizing d forum sofware in such a way u can place ads banners on it,etc next step, u get a shared hosting/dedicated hosting plan from a hosting company, den hire someone on contract, that is well specialized in php/mysql server-side to install & configure d forum software for you. Den u are on like magic. And u can control d admin side of ur forum frm a tapatalk mobile app, if u like- List of forum softwares=xenforo, vbulletin v3, vanilla, fluxbb etc at least xenforo forum software is easier n more preventing frm hacking. Sites using it are riseforum.com/pennyarcades.com/digitalpoint etc but if u still wan somtin exactly like dz forum, jst go and master only python programming language.

GideonG: For Nairaland, I think Seun used PHP at the beginning and ended up changing to Python....
But the afore mentioned comments really answered your question.

Nairaland is not built from scratch it is built using a forum software and over time tweaked to what you see presently.

Your question confirms it..Like I said, the whole software has been tweaked, hence the nairaland you see today.

To make ur life easy as a Nigerian with so many things to deal with like lack of electricity and limited time constraint. Start by learning HTML. If you are a natural Computer Geek U can learn it in 3 Weeks. Next you learn how to use CSS with HTML. You can learn this in five weeks. You can Optionally learn Javascript in four weeks. You can do the three simulteneosly but make sure you start with HTML. Now Start learning how to program for the Backend with PHP. Why i recommend PHP for a typical Nigerian learning to programme is becos PHP IS THE MOST POPULAR web programming language, tutorials, books and the software itself are free for download. You can also download free IDE TO WORK WITH (NETBEAN with PHP PLUGIN or ECLIPSE with PHP plugin).Next you need a database, for a typical Nigerian MySql is the best option for the reasons mentioned above. You can download Wamp server from the following http://www.wampserver.com/en/ and start developing with PHP AND MySql on windows.Note HTML and CSS Are not programming languages they are markup languages. If you want to learn these please visit http://www.w3schools.com
I learnt html,javascript,css and php in 1 week each.

PHP is probably the best and easiest language a forum can be written in.
