When I was in college I can't recall ANY courses on back-end web development. Perhaps there was a course or two on HTML/CSS, but that was it. Everything was about desktop development in Java or .NET. The only back-end web language I knew about was PHP, because I was required to use it for one project in a "multimedia" class I had. I looked at PHP and thought "Ugh...who'd want to code in this all the time?", and went about my merry way after the project was done.
Flash forward about 4-5 years later and I start seeing some really cool things going on in web development. I decide I want to get back into development (it's not my career, just a hobby) so I start looking into web platforms and...my god...EVERY language these days has its own stable, well tested platform/framework, if not several of them! Out of curiosity I even looked through what PHP has to offer these days and its a marked improvement.
So I pose to you web devs of AT, what is your platform/framework of choice? Yes I know there is a certain amount of "the right tool for the right job" that applies, but I want to know what everyone personally thinks is awesome.
