Back in the day (i.e. 10 years ago when I was studying programming), I would just write a C++ program to write out web pages when I needed dynamic content. Now all the kids are running around with things like PHP, ASP, JSP, etc.
Do you really need to do all that? I understand that scripting languages are easier to learn and for some simple operations are easier to work with... But if you already know C/C++ is there an advantage to learning PHP or some of the other methods?
Also, wouldn't a plain binary file be faster, performance wise?
