Bernhard is right, what you "need" is dependent on what you are trying
to accomplish. If you only want to discourage casual visitors from
browsing sections of your site, something as simple as an .htpasswd file
may be all you need. However if real security and access control is a
concern, you will need to learn more than just a language. C might
work, so could Python or PHP, but they are methods of implementation,
not the solutions.
I hate to sound paranoid, but security is an area where a little
knowledge can be disastrous.
