Web mapping application with time slider and raster data

Question

I need to create a web mapping application that can show raster layer of historical maps with a time slider.

Basically, something like this: http://goo.gl/GYHOX

I have different maps of different years of the same are, that can be showed on a time series and moving on with a time slider. The interface can be simple, the important thing is the time slider.

I have programming experience only in HTML/CSS, little of PHP.

Any suggestions of which tools to use? I had a look at TileMill but the problem is the time-slider that I have no clue on how to build it.

Thanks in advance for who will help me.

Have you tried inspecting the page's source (e.g. with Firefox's developer tools)? Looks like it's using OpenLayers and GeoExt. The time slider appears to be a custom development (check out the functions in the GeoAdmin namespace in the app.js source -- you will probably want to use something like jsbeautifier to make it readable).
