a couple of days ago, a friend asked me, what i think the best web programming language is, i was quick to choose Asp.net ("probably biased"), so i decided to throw the question here
pls with reasons

COBOL l

All languages are good, it depends on your knowledge and skills.

hahahahaha MOBINGA you no go kill me for this forum COBOL of 95 na him you dey talk.

You are my man. I love your sense of humour. I coundn't help laughing.

I beg to disagree on that. Some langs are best for specific things. To some extent, I agree with you that it depends on one's knowledge and skill, but then 'All languages are good'. I think you are dead wrong there.

hello, please visit this link http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/index.html u will see the best languages and why the ar rated that way

There is no such thing as the best programming language.

You have to choose the programming language you think your brain can handle.

A programming language is as powerful as the writer. The power is in your hands

Unfortunately, there is.
Some programming languages have more features than others, are better at math, are faster and at the same time are easier to write.
D is better than C.
C# is better than VB _{and Java}.
Everything is better than Brainfuck (yes its a programming language) http://www.muppetlabs.com/~breadbox/bf/

My own Brainfuck programs: an 822-byte quine, and factor, a program that factors arbitrarily large integers in an arbitrarly large amount of time -- and what may have been, at the time that I wrote it, the largest Brainfuck program in existence

In my opinion, the best web language is C#, which for practical reasons (decimal handling being number one), has become the defacto language for financial sysytems.

I will recommend either JSP or ASP.but i think ASP is common for friendly and dynamic features !!

Dude, run away from JSP, ASP and of course, PHP. Run away from them like demons are after you.
Of those three, JSP is the most sane, but is killed by performance, here's a debate about why MIT (yes MIT of free software licenses) chose ASP.NET over JSP ;

@Beaf, nice one

plz i need a help on site spinner licence key, i downloaded the trial version and it will expire in three days time,plz anybody got the key,i love the software and i don;t want to loseit
thanks

dont have it , but there are far better tools out there, try dreamweaver

Yeah Dreamweaver is good software, and its very helpful.But If you are interested to learn any language then you have to firstly know about your interest means in which language you feel comfortable, suppose that if you are comfortable with php or asp or any other language then you should know all the topics of this language, read more and more and more books of that topic written by different authors, practice every topic, Then you become masters of that specific language, and in which language you are perfect that is Best Language.

And yeah there are many options for web programming.Select your language

As per my view asp.net is the best for web application.It is every user friendly.It is object-oriented language.

The poster should have mentioned his web programming experience by duration, from there, other programmers would be able to analyse the language much more easier for him. What I'm thinking is that, all languages are pretty good, it all depends on how good u re at using them!

@Birniwa, i have more that 3 year of software development, the analysis is not for me, it for a friend who wants to go into web programming, and i wanted different views so i dont give him a biased reply


@BEEF, dont make me use police to fish u out guy where u dey

Asp and Php both are good

I'm a big fan of Ruby on Rails. But probably any MVC framework (like Django for Python) is likely to be just as good.

Truth be told, I wish I'd learned Python instead of Ruby. Oh well.
