My goodness, isn't anyone going to mention Perl? Free, open-source,
cross-platform, with a vibrant and intelligent user community. Perl can do
web work, data-base stuff, system administration, XML, virtually anything.
Learning Perl was one of the smartest things I've ever done.

OK, "simple" maybe it ain't. But worth it.

I've just started doing some web design, and have taught myself some CSS and
some Javascript.

I'm now looking for a simple, widely used server side language which is easy
to learn.  All I want to do is be able to process some forms, maybe do a
simple auction etc.

Any recommendations?  References (web or book) would also be appreciated!

Thx

Mark Cheng
