Python is definitely a contender, don't discount it. It's not as dynamic as say, Ruby/Rails, but is certainly a good first web-type language. Flask is a good first step, since it's very simple. You can digest the Flask code as a rookie Python developer with relative ease.
If you wanted to veer off the beaten path of the big three (PHP, Ruby, Python), Go has some cool things going on, and you might find it interesting as a C++ dev.
- collyw 13y agoI was going to suggest Django. I had been a back end developer for a while. I could put together a Perl CGI script to display a webpage, but not too much more. One problem you first have with web development, is you see too many possible ways to implement something. Using a good framework makes a lot of these decisions for you (or at least encourages you to do things properly), and reduces the amount or boilerplate code you. Plus the guys that write these frameworks have loads more experience than you and have added stuff you probably don't even know about. CSFR protection for example. Sure it was a pain getting the first errors resolved, but now I know that I ought to be including these things in my webpages now.
