    Hi,
    I'm an aspiring web developer and have set my sight on creating a website/web-app for contact management. I have thorough knowledge in C/C++ and basic knowledge in Python. I have a couple of doubts :

    1. Which scripting language should I use on server-side ? Some programmers tell me to use Python while others rant about flexibility and scalability of RoR (which I do not know)

    2. Or should I stick to PHP for scripting purposes ?

    Thanks,
    Hardik

    Why not c#?

    The time that asp.net can save is huge and it would be a natural transition for you. I realize that python and PHP are *not* microsoft which is a good reason to use them, but c# and silverlight are making good inroads.

    Thanks for the reply. Ya I'm trying to stick to open-source technologies.

    So, would a combination of Python/RoR on server side and XHTML/CSS/jQuery on client side be enough ?

    It's my first web-development project so I'm a bit clueless :S
