[felgall]

English.

well Flash isn't really a language, but i voted html because it's the easiest for me to remember without needing a book. that and it's the basis for the internet.

Hmmm...let's see:

It can't be HTML, XML or VML, because they are not programming languages. They are mark-up languages.

It can't be CGI, because it's not a programming language either. It's an interface (Common Gateway Interface) that allows you to use various programming languages in a web environment.

So I guess I'm left with PHP as the one I know best amongst the remainders. :)

Is now a good time to point out that HTML, XML, VML, Flash, and CGI aren't programming languages? If you want to get technical, Javascript is probably a scripting language.

[rhsunderground]

ooo....good call guys.

[MstrBob]

Whoah. Great minds think alike, I guess...

[emblem]

i sort of know that HTML XML & VML are marcup languages and that javascript is a scripting language but i did not know any other way to put it with out putting a long descriptive sentince

[MstrBob]

Perhaps, "What is your favorite web technology?"

You missed the entire .NET framework and ColdFusion.

As far as I'm concerned, so-called "scripting" languages are programming languages. They are a sub-set differentiated from other programming languages in that they are not compiled into executable programs; but you still program with them. They have if/else logic, loops, arrays and other data structures, I/O, etc.

I guess they're "other". ;)
