What kind of programming skills are needed to allow a site search within its database and take voting info?

What is the difference between a programmer proficient in Ajax vs ASP? I would like to develop a site that is capable of taking in user info, sorting it and categorizing it in a database to be released when another user is in search for such information. What skills are necessary to create a photo sharing-blog community?

That sounds like a fairly difficult undertaking! I certainly would not use plain ASP; you would be much better off using ASP.Net, but Ruby on Rails would be the other logical choice. As far as skills, you are looking at a 3-tiered application: a user interface tier, a business logic tier, and a database tier. So, you would need to know a fair amount of HTML and JavaScript to create nice web pages, and probably Ruby or C# for the business layer, and SQL and some database administration skills for the database layer. Good luck!
