[thelist] PHP, ASP.net, AJAX

[Kevin Timmins]

Hi folks,
I am looking to find out which language (or maybe another if you happen to recommend one which is better) is better to use with AJAX (or some other client side scripting better than AJAX if you happen to know of one), PHP, or ASP.net
I have prior experience with php, and I also have experience with java if this helps at all, but I am looking to create some really dynamic web pages. one thing I want to apply this to is my CMS that I am planning on building, specifically the design templates that I want to implement.
sorry I am unclear on the information and what I want to do, but which language in your opinion is better suited to this. I have no experience of C, C# or C++.
if you have any book suggestions that go from basics then that would be good,
Thanks in advance
Kipper
