Tell me the best tool for implementing an Internet project

Question

Database

Task: Educational Internet project. There are quite a lot of graphics and reactions to user actions, while the main algorithms are executed on the server, the user profile and his learning progress are also stored there.
1. Is Flash the best implementation?
2. If the project is successful, I would like to be able to take into account the high load on the server (hundreds of accesses per second), although theoretically it is possible, of course, to raise several servers. Nevertheless, what effective mechanisms on the server side should be chosen (database (given the high volume of insert / update operations) + return of results).

You can answer questions individually, I'm interested in everything now.

Answer 1

Choose the technologies that your team is best versed in.
If you are alone, and experience is still tight - find yourself a guru. And do it on the platform he specializes in.
This is the only way I know of not abandoning a project halfway through.

Answer 2

About flash - you need to weigh what functions you need (if you don't have a flash guru). Without knowing the parameters of your project, I would say that flash is needed for video and audio (well, maybe heavy animation). Cons - no indexing by the browser, and many other pitfalls, such as bookmarks at a specific URL.

You can also look towards silverlight. Great for building RIA web applications.
Plus, you can make a desktop and mobile version of the application with minimal alterations.

Answer 4

Flush is not kosher in the 21st century.
Most likely, simple javascript (jQuery) and css3 will suffice for you.
Well, the server side can be done at least on anything ... Probably the easiest way is with php + a good framework.
