Folks,
I need your collective expertise here to help me out with a dilemma that I recently starting thinking about. I am an experienced scripter/programmer, but I need to start learning a new language. I currently know Perl, Shell, and Cold Fusion fairly well. I enjoy web development/programming, so I have considered learning something like PHP or ASP.net. At the same time, I do a lot of scripting on *nix machines for my job, so I have kicked around learning Ruby On Rails or TCL. I have some experience in VB6, so VB.net also appeals to me. As you can see, I have quite the situation here. So, the question I present is this: which of these languages will have the most impact work-wise, and which would be most practical to learn for my home-based endeavors? If the answer is “all”, in which order would you recommend? Thanks everyone!
