    Can you please give me a simple top list of the programming languages that offers embedded HTML for developing web applications, that's according to you?

    Example of the programming language that offers embedded HTML is like:
    <h1>Today is </^ %{DATE} ^>!</h1>
    Code (markup):
    And please don't forget to vote!

    I mainly use Wordpress for my sites, so I don't have to deal with a lot of coding. When I do have to code, I usually use Javascript. Javascript can add so much to web pages, and I usually use it for making web pages responsive to the users actions.

    It's kinda special not to add PHP to that list... or Javascript or node.js, for that matter. Instead you chose a few that are rarely used at all... Oh well, my choice for web dev is PHP, HTML 5 and jQuery. It also provides embedded html, if you want.

    I'd chose not to add PHP because of the poll choices limitation..
    What is your next to PHP for server-side scripting?

    If you are going to choose, what is the best server-side scripting next to PHP..


    Can you give me a simple top list of server-side scripting languages?

    PHP for simplicity, asp if you're gonna run on Windows, C-in-some-form but will have to be converted (Facebook does this), Python for quick functions and maths, node.js if you're familiar with javascript and want something lightning fast

    I use Python (via Flask) for all my web projects. Since I've worked with Python for years before getting into web development, it's nice to be able to use the same language for anything server-side.

    ASP.net and Java. But HTML and PHP are also good web designing and development programming language. We can create dynamic and complex website using PHP.

    In the same way some Olympics are "special"? ESPECIALLY with TCL and Coldfusion listed?

    For me when it comes to web development, PHP is where it's at -- mostly due to it being available ANYWHERE. That with PDO I can now tie into any of the major SQL types, and my own little library for implementing named queries (just like the old Paradox for DOS did when writing support for other DB engines) is really a big selling point; and as much as I hate to admit it, the lack of variable typing and fixed limits (something I usually rail against in languages) really works best when dealing with databases.

    NOT that I believe in "embedding" as you put it; it's not how real programming languages work, and I I had my way <?php and ?> would be removed from the PHP specification, or at the very least have the option to say "this file can't do that". The constant opening and closing of <?php ?> you see in a lot of people's code just drives me nutters in both difficulty of reading the code, and the gross inefficiency of it. "Echo" FTMFW when strings are whitespace preserving and the output is whitespace neutral

    Though I've been playing with making a pre-processor for tiny pascal (the one that compiles to p-code) to see if I can mix a strongly typed well constructed language with the requirements of outputting such massive strings. At heart I'm a Wirth kinda guy -- so playing with all these languages like PHP, JAVA, JavaScript, etc, etc that are little more than C wearing a dress doesn't quite feel right.

    For me, It's depends on what kind of web application I am going to develop.
