Time to learn more?

jQuery/php/Css/html

if you know these all you are hitting.

jQuery is remarkable.. try it.

So no need to learn JS then?

I started learning programming few years ago. I learned few visual basic stuffs and at that time C# was new and hot. But then my attention went toward asp and php. After few months of study I was okay with php. Then I went for jQuery, which made the work quite easy. Now I am thinking, I should go back to C# and Visual Basic again to further improve it because I am now thinking there could be a future in web application. I am not sure should I go back or stay with php. Any suggestion

Well, for open source / small projects, PHP might be the way to go. If you work for companies, then C# / ASP.NET is more the thing to use.

I would not use VB.NET, it doesn't offer anything special over C#, and personally I find the language more annoying than C#. But it is also a question of taste. With both you can do EXACTLY the same kind of things. Even if I believe there is more market share for C# than VB.NET

If you know well PHP, then you should not have such big deals moving to something like C#, even if it may requires some time to really use C# as it should be used. If I was you, I would not jump too much around as you will end up knowing none of those things.

Not just that really.

Corporate wants support on-demand, Java has that. With PHP you'll have to tell your boss, "Just hang on, I've posted the problem on a online forum".

Companies are willing to pay for the support, thus the reason they lean towards vendor products.

If you know the language well enough you shouldn't have to ask in any forum? At minimum all you should need to do is look at documentation should you come past a problem.

You could do the same with c,vb,java ask and what for an answer in a forum.

If your project consists of people working on a php project then you will have php support on demand otherwise you will have to ask and wait for an answer online.

Likewise with any other language (java,vb,c). You will be surrounded with people knowing the language that the project is in and will have support for it on demand. If not you will have to ask and wait on an answer online.

Is it really hard to learn C#. I do have small knowledge on PHP, Visual Basic in the past. But only a concept. I want to learn C# since I see a big market in this. Any suggestion, if I wanted to build a webbase application?

No it's not hard. If you know VB and PHP you should be able to pick the little differences, and start working quiet rapidly.
