Thanks for all that - I was thinking of doing the IACT one -

Tougher, but seems like the most worthwhile maybe.
Actually, what is a Webmaster? Is it the person who looks after the server and things? Or the person who writes content... or both?
Maybe also get introduced to a language, I dunno, php is alright, Python maybe, or Ruby even. I would say Perl, but Perl is insane, and I am still learning it 4 years after starting to learn it, having been a coder for a few years before that. Perl is more or less the definition of too much rope.
Isn't PERL "the swiss-army knife" of web-scripting ? I have coded in the past as well but only GUI front-end C-based stuff, not PERL. Was hoping that the principles might be easy to pick up. I haven't done any server-side coding at all though so it's a whole new bag. If it's object-oriented, it might be hard to get to grips with.
It can be both, can't it ?

So... since i am such a sad bastard, I have been thinking about this for ages.
What is the best lang for a web developer to learn...
Perl is extremely powerful. It's not a swiss army knife, it's more of... I dunno, a swiss army. Through Perl you can do almost anything.
But, it can get really messy, unless you are really good.
At the moment I am leaning towards something like Python or Ruby. In fact, I think Ruby might be a great language.
Back to Perl. its annoying, I suppose the reason it is so powerful is the reason it is so dangerous. I just use it to do everything, shell scripting, programming web apps, data mining... but it can and will get you into trouble.
I pretty sure I dont recommend it to a person starting out in this stuff, but seen as you have been working with C you probably have an idea about the right way to do things.
Perl just gives you an enormous number of bad ways to do things, that's the issue. But, it also gives you some amazingly quick and clever ways of doing almost everything too.
