Beside PHP and ASP which is the best programing language for web?
Also how robust it would be if we compare it with those 2?

I love Haxe. It's mainly to combine Flash and PHP but I love it!

Haxe.org

It works with every language anyways!

Each language has been created for a specific purpose. PHP is not better than HTML, JavaScript is not better than PHP, etc.. they connect with each other

Generally speaking:
- Use (X)HTML for content.
- Use CSS for presentational purposes.
- Use JavaScript for interactivity, animations, etc..
- Use PHP to access a database, to validate form data, etc..

Python is a sure winner for robustness and rigor.; Java for having to build a building when you just need a window; Perl for really messing with your head; C++ for getting stuck in pointer land, Ruby for forcing down a road that's not that bad, and on and on and on...
(Flash, Silverlight, RIA's galore...)

Paraphrasing Zoliky: "each language has its benefits and strengths..."

I'd say the best language is the one you're the most proficient in that gets the job done.

Don't forget about frameworks - they allow you to focus on the actual unique application logic by
giving you a base to start with. There are a number of them available for most languages.

Hi,
The best languague is HTML. you can use css and javascript to make your website dynamic.

I agree there isn't a single best program language. It all depends on what you're trying to accomplish. For me, I prefer working with PHP/MySQL because of how flexible the language is.

In my opinion : PHP (with MySQL)
It's easy to use, has lots of features and is supported on almost every host.

For me, it depends entirely on what's easiest for you to learn and use. If you come from a C background (or similar) and you relate to that language well, then PHP might be best for you. If you come from an HTML background, then something along the lines of ColdFusion might be best for you.

It really depends on the person in my opinion.
