[thelist] Recommend a Server Side Language?

[Ryan Mayberry]

I've got to recommend ASP using VBScript. Mark, it sounds like you're
following the same learning curve I did. Having no prior programming
experience I found the ASP syntax to be very straight forward and easy to
learn. I wouldn't use ULTRADev or a similar app which generates the ASP, I
would just open up homesite and go code happy.

Use the following reference site... it has links to thousands of great
tutorials and examples majority with free source. Once you've gone over the
stuff covering connecting to a database and then adding, removing and
editing records in a database then you've got all basics to build virtually
anything you can imagine.

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
