Best Web Language to Learn
qhoxie: This has been discussed fairly exhaustively, but here is a quick summary:You cannot really go wrong with python or ruby.  Both have a number of solid frameworks for you to try (rails, django, pylons, sinatra, etc).  Try a number of them and build some trivial app in a few of them.I also recommend getting familiar with javascript and a library like jquery or mootools, if you plan do dive deeper in the web dev.
