I want to create a site (like facebook) and wanted to know what the degree of difficulty is to build a site like that and what is the best program to use to build it
If you are looking to create something like Facebook in an application like frontpage or Dreamweaver, then the simple answer is no.
You will need to learn a server-side scripting language like php, python, perl, or Java (JSP).
There are many open source projects with codebases which you can freely build off of to get started, but to create something original it might be best to start from scratch (of course using pre-made components in your system where appropriate).

Try Drupal. It is a open source application for social networking.

The best way to do it is by learning a server-side scripting language and a database. Then write the code yourself. That’s how Mark Zuckerberg, creator of Facebook, did it.
