PHP vs. Asp. vs. Jsp


As you might know, I am trying to leverage my skills online, trying to make money off the internet. The internet is continously evolving, from a simple way to communicate between two computers, it has gone a long way. Heck, some are even trying to scrap it off!

I started off my web life with HTML, a basic and easy programming language if it can be called so. I started of making sites off it just for the fun sake of it, with some photoshop tricks to make it look nice. But I got busy with studies for some years and when I got back, the net had moved forward and become more than just Internet as I knew it pre 2000′s.

Now I am trying to learn a coding language for the internet. I have three choices to decide on. PHP, ASP or JSP? Doess anyone know anything better or comparable to these? I also would like your comments on these languages. Talking about languages, how about Chinese? :grin: Just kidding!

    I personally have been practicing PHP/MySQL for about 6 years and feel that it is the best of those three to learn.

    My reasoning is that they all do pretty much the same thing, but PHP is free and many scripts are written in PHP (like WordPress or vBulletin for example). This allows me to intergrate any PHP script into my custom coding as well as be able to understand and modify the programming with the packaged scripts.

    I guess its best to go for PHP since most people are running Linux servers (afaik asp is windows only). Anyway, LAMP is by far the most popular combo.

    I think that asp is for those who are comfy with the vb and other win based programming, and it pays out very well too, since they are high in demand in the programming industry.
    PHP is very strong, robust and is for everyone who knows his thing and it has a very helpful community around it which is good for the newbies entering the programming.
    JSP is for….well…err…hmm…no idea, but its certification is very valuable.

    the verdict? ASP is for money, PHP is for passion. JSP is for.. ;-)

    If I am wrong, do correct me!

    Still you need a comment? :D .. as I can see the post start date!
    Anyway as I came here… I will say PHP! ..though its easy to learn all of these. PHP is better comparing the speed and accessibility I think.. I have already read hell lot many posts debating on this point that I said.. am not starting up one anew here now! Simply said what I felt.
