    I would go with Javascript and Ruby. JS is the most widely used and mostly misunderstood language due to its popularity and nature. Ruby is a fun laguage, very flexible and easy to learn. On a daily basis I do front-end development (have to write a lot of JS) and integration with back-end services using .NET and ASP.NET MVC framework - all in C#. New verion of C# adds some nice features that make life easier so you can give it a shot (you can install Mono framework on Mac/Linux).

    I've tried to learn Objective-C and do some iOS developemnt but I failed. To me Objectve-C is fucked-up language and I can't get my head around it. Maybe I am spoiled by C# and Ruby.

    If you asked me about PHP, I would say no. I know it, is a very popular language (drupal, joomla, wordpress - you name it) and multi-platform and I used to use it, but the language is like a (Frankenstein's monster)^OMG*WTF.

    But in the end it is up to you. Try and decide. Happy coding.

    • haha, php's not so bad, apart from the awkward OO syntax etc. C#/.net etc always seemed a trip to me. No Dark Sides :)mikotondria3
