Ruby on rails or python/django

Like I said, lots of people seem to prefer Ruby on Rails, since Twitter used it, but PHP seems to be the industry standard at the moment. Just learn what you want, then get work in that language.

People don't care what language it's in, as long as it works.

I would argue that ASP.NET is probably more standardised over PHP. PHP is good, and I prefer it but a lot of companies use .NET. It's annoying because I try to argue sometimes with my clients why do they need .NET etc..

Anyways, have a look at http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/conte...pci/index.html

It shows some good figures of what is what.

Having worked professionally in both I can definitively say that .NET is far more standardized than PHP. I personally prefer .net to PHP.
