Thanks merijnv,thanks for the inputs.

To be frank,I never did start with PHP, but yes I did flirt with Perl. I know a bit of Perl,(though embarrassed to admit,I lost my patience with Perl midway)

As for Ruby, I strangely had the impression, that I can't attempt at it, without knowing PHP and others.

So anyway for RoR or Django, do I need to learn Ruby and Python respctively to start over, or can I jump straight to it. I have coded in C# and did some personal db work in MySQL . If that helps.
