Perl is becoming less popular on the Web, although it's still a great language (but Perl 6 is taking as long as Duke Nukem Forever). PHP is popular, and a reasonable language, but you have to be very careful to secure your scripts. </p> <p>At first, just hacking some code together is fine, but when you need to make an online site search out some articles on PHP security! Also, <a href="http://www.gophp5.org/" class="bb-url">PHP5 is becoming mandatory soon</a> so you shouldn't have a problem finding a host that supports it. It's safely getting to the time when you can ignore PHP 4 (finally!) in your scripts.</p> <p><a href="http://www.rubyonrails.org/" class="bb-url">Ruby on Rails</a> is also a good choice, very solid language and a framework that allows speedy development. Give it a go at least. <img src="https://www.webmaster-forums.net/misc/smileys/smile.png" title="Smiling" alt="Smiling" class="smiley-content" /></p> Wed, 22 Aug 2007 00:46:41 +0000 JeevesBond comment 1223356 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/serverside-scripting/what-should-i-learn#comment-1223325 <p>Not to turn this into a <a href="http://www.webmaster-forums.net/showthread.php?t=39185" class="bb-url">language war</a>, but I would recommend PHP.</p> Tue, 21 Aug 2007 18:28:21 +0000 pr0gr4mm3r comment 1223325 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net
