Coding in Coldfusion,asp,php,ruby,python,jsp??

[sandeep_cdac200]

hi all

i have been doing Flash programming for last two years.with release of AS3.0 we all know we have to learn a completely new language.but beside that i also wanna learn some server side language and it is where m bit confused.their are lot of server side technologies but i wanna get few points clear on those technologies.

a)JSP
b)PHP
c).NET
d)RUBY
E)Python(its django web framework)
F)Coldfusion(Being an adobe Flash developer is it best option to go with)

well i know coldfusion's syntax is bit odd as compare to other languages but the features they are giving in coldfusion8 are great.the most intersting one is image manipulation and with more tightly integration with flash i was looking forward to that.As Adobe has opened source flash player i think in near future they also do something like this to coldfusion to make it more popular platform or may change its whole structure as they done with Actionscript in AS3.0. May be i am totally in dreams but thats what i am thinking about adobe's strategies now.they have been developing good desingning tools(like photoshop,premier etc) but on the Development frontier they have nothing to offer before they purchase macromedia.Now After purchasing macromedia thay have owned Flash Player which runs on almost any platform.Then they release Flex2.0 to target enterprise market and thats why they changed its whole structure.now Adobe releases AIR(Adobe integrated runtime) for crossplatform application development.so this whole thing makes me intersted in adobe technologies and their only server-side technology is coldfusion.

Although i personally ike python and ruby and i beleive that open source is the way to go.but as i mentioned above Adobe's future planing make me to stick and start with coldfusion.

Am i totally on different planet or should i start learning with ruby or php?

Looking forward for ur advice!

Hi,

unless you have enough money to spend (or are running web sites big enough for dedi servers), real life web hosts will give you php....
