Scripting

There are a variety of scripting languages. Server side, I use PHP most frequently, but also do VBScript for ASP sites, and have use Tcl in the past, and am working on learning Python right now. Client side I use Javascript. I also starting to work with ActionScript (with Flash) to do some PHP/XML/Database interaction (tutorial to come soon). I do some Perl and shell scripting when I need to, though I've never done either extensively. I should probably learn more perl, but I've never had to use it much for work so I'm not as familiar with it as I should be. For now there's only some PHP information here. More will come when I have time.
