I'm looking to learn either ASP.NET (C#) or PHP. My primary reason reason for learning is as a hobby (web-based game perhaps), but since I can't decide which one to learn I thought I would do some research on the job market and see which language is currently more valueable.
From what I can see, ASP.NET is about twice as popular as PHP (in the job market). (* My conclusion is based off dice.com, monster.com, and hotjobs.com).
Is this true? Also, by learning ASP.NET in C#, you also gain other skills such as .NET and C# (both which can be used for ASP.NET development or desktop application development).
Another choice is to learn Java, which seems to be twice as popular as ASP.NET but I really dislike Java for some reason... (maybe college made me this way??)
Any advice on what I should is very much appriciated
