Best web programming language?

[Beltz]

What would be the best programming language to learn if I want to make stuff like online text based games?

Languages like asp, php, perl do that... Which is best to learn?

Text and web based ?? It is not a good idea...

For each processing, the browser must send a 'hit' to the server...This not only overloads the server but also makes the user on the client mechine mad....

Howerve, Php, I found was the easiest and efficient enough... visit http://php.resourceindex.com/ to see a few samples....

I suggest you make use of JAVA to create applets...These applets could be used to substitute constant hits...

Hope this guides you...
