best programming language for a programming book?
TallGuyShort: >> I am almost tempted to pick JavaScriptI can't phrase that any better - I have this feeling that using JavaScript for such a project would be evil, but when I stop and think about it - I think JavaScript might have become the "duct tape" of the internet (yes - I know perl already claims to be soo).I integrate JavaScript with my Flex applications all the time. It gives you a good understanding of HTML, basic programming, and as AJAX becomes more popular, JavaScript becomes more important.PHP is another good option. It does have some problems, yes, but it's common, free, and easy.
