In the early days of computers, programming was centrally focused around structured and machine level programming. How times have changed since the days of languages such as C and Pascal. There are so many different programing languages in use right now, that it is a task in and of itself just to list them all. The most popular programming languages today are Java, C, C++, Visual Basic (VB), PHP, Perl, C#, Python, JavaScript, and Ruby. There are many, many other languages that are used, but as a start, these are the ones that are generally considered the most popular. The top three contenders for being the most utilized are Java, C++, and C#. (?)

Now to clarify things a bit, there are many different categories of languages that are used for different programming requirements. Scripting languages are basically for the automation of frequently used tasks which involve the calling or passing of commands to external programs. Data-Oriented languages are for just what they sound like they are for, maniplating data. Object-Oriented languages are based on the principles of Object Orientation which loosely translates to those which support the concept of classes, methods, polymorphism, inheritance, and reusability.

There are many good Server-Side Scripting languages to use for web applications. PHP, ASP.NET, and JSP are a few that are popular and have a large market share. ColdFusion is a very good language and has been around since the mid nineties. I am a bit partial to ColdFusion primarily because it is the first language that I have had exposure to. Not to mention, that anyone with a bit of understanding of HTML and CSS, can start to learn ColdFusion rather easily. ColdFusion was originally released by Allaire and written using the C++ language. After merging with Macromedia in 2001, the ColdFusion platform was rebuilt and developed on the Java J2EE platform, and is compiled to bytecode much like that of JSP. In July of 2007, Adobe released ColdFusion 8, the "Scorpio" Edition of the ever popular language.
