well I’m not as hi tech as lot of people around here. I only know html, dhmtl, php, some javascript and proficient with actionscript. I’d say that I like php a lot. I’m still learning but it’s been the easiest of all languages besides html so far.

Well a couple of threads ago, there something simular ( think there are many topics like this ) however i will enlighten you. There is no best.
i’d go for a combo php - with javascript
perl -\> a very powerfull language aswell.
asp-\> i am the wrong guy to ask that one lol
At the end its all comes to what do you like? Which of all those languages you handle the best without getting headeggs over the most simple things.

Again, it depends on what your doing. For dynamic content, I would choose php with mysql. Coldfusion is suitable for cms or some sort of database system.

depends on pref… most people on this forum probably like php, and I do as well… but some love asp because it is often more complex…
I’m starting to learn asp and love it 😃

I like Php.
XML is cool too, but I haven’t had as much time to get into that. It’s done some pretty cool things in people’s footers here though.

xml isn’t a programming language, it’s a object oriented database… and it’s incredibly simple 😉

PHP all the way 🙂
What is PERL? I mean I know it’s another languages, but what advantages would it have over say PHP?

I Was CGI crazy… Before PHP came out…
Stept over when PHP version 4.1 came out… It Was easy and With MySQL (just like CGI) It was very handy. Though My hart lies with Perl/CGI, PHP saves lots of time because It’s so darn easy.
but CGI is better in someways then PHP… PHP is still an yougn languaes.
