    I am currently studying PHP, and after I have become profficient with it, I will wish to study another language. What would be the best:

    ASP.NET
    ColdFusion/CFML
    VBScript
    or something else.

    I currently know C#, C++,VB and Logo


    What would be the best one to study, or offer another suggestion,

    Thanks,

    BP

    if you know C# and VB then you can more or less do ASP.Net so seems a sensible choice.

    The only other option really would be to go down the Java route (jsp etc) but it depends what you are wanting to do with it all.

    ^^I already know ActionScript 2.0

    Just didn't think to put it in there....

    MySQL....I should probably learn that in more detail heh. I have done the basics so I can work with the PHP scripts I make, but can't use it fully. As for Java, I have heard that is veery hard to learn. ASP.NET is my first choice at the moment ;)


    Thanks all for the suggestions,

    BP

    JavaSCRIPT to go with your XHTML and CSS.

    The four, combined with a database, make a very powerful team.

    Yes, I started to learn JavaScript, but the book was crap, it just gave you code before you actually learnt it, and just made it more confusing, so I may go with it, I could sure use it,

    I know PHP/MySQL and now I'm trying to figure out how Java works :p

    Java looks like an easier language to pick up.

    php frameworks. But before php frameworks, learn Java, Java will teach you the importance of OOP and you'll easily jump to ORM.

    cake, zend, symfony..all resemble to each other in MVC structure.

    There's a ruby-on-rails story. But it's a spectacular story. I think at least.

    find a good book on Java, read it non-stop. Good practices in 1 month can be enough...
