ASP.NET, JSP, JSF, RoR. I don't have much love for PHP, but it depends on the scope of the application I guess:
http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=ASP.NET%2C+JSF,+JSP,+Ruby+on+Rails,+PHP&l=
http://www.google.com/trends?q=ASP.NET,+JSF,+JSP,+Ruby+on+Rails,+PHP&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all&sort=0

If you stretch the dynamic web definition, you can add Flex to that list and possibly Silverlight and JavaFX. I don't believe any of the latter will breakthrough in the long run, but Silverlight did have a very nice popularity increase lately:

Real men use assembly for web development you know...
I would have... except my employer wants SOMETHING before the dawn of the next millennium :p.

C++ may not be something considered when doing web development, however, I've found it to be really quite handy. Not nearly as tough as people make it out to be :D

Real mean use only black widow spiders for web development.

That said...honestly, what an impossibly vague question this is. Might as well ask what alphabet is best for writing novels.

PHP is real simple to learn. I would recommend it over any language for web programming. LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) is a real simple setup. Almost every web host provides for it. If you want to use ASP.Net you have to pay extra. You can learn the basics of programming then you can learn OOP.
Then when you move to C++ or C# you can understand it because PHP is from C. You will also understand a little of Java.

Microsoft language is crap!!! I use ASP.Net at work and I hate it! I write in VB instead of C# because it is easier.

MySQL is free! If you are looking for a quick way to learn…learn PHP or Ruby. Go to youtube and watch the videos. You don’t need anything. And yes I know Visual Studio is free (express edition) but you can’t launch this on the web without paying extra.

But like all languages this is a matter of opinion and it can get into a heated debate. My brother loves ASP.Net and he loves VB. So I say try each one out and whichever one you like use it. :)

Thanks for great helpful post

Its just funny. People put programming languages in boxes of what they can and can't be used for. Some languages are designed specifically for a certain task, however, that doesn't make it the only thing they can do. (I like putting round pegs in square holes)

You are so right! We all have our languages of choice and it can be used for a variety of tasks. While one language may be good for this job it may not be a good use for another.

At work we have all window boxes and SQL. Should I use PHP? Well, that's a matter of opinion. In this case I felt that ASP would work well since I'm in a windows environment. I don't like it but oh well.

While I may boast and say PHP is the easiest, I say try them all out. You will without fail use one as your main one but don't limit yourself to that.

I want to map a network drive do I use VBScript or do I use a Batch script. I can map a network drive in one line in Batch than in VB.....they all have the pros and cons.

The top tech's right now for web development are php, asp.net, python, java, and ruby on the backend and javascript on the front end.

Just having web development experience, knowing standards, having a good eye for design and user interfaces will go a long way.

For example, we are still interviewing for a new developer. We want a guy with java and php experience, but I have no problem interviewing guys with asp.net experience. I know that a good developer won't have any problems switching to our preferred languages. There are common core principles and technologies that I can use a test of his/her skills.

I use whatever I feel is the best for the objective and overall goal of the website.
