If you see Web pages with “ASP” in the name, those pages are being generated
from a VBScript based Web site.
VB programmers are easy to find, and a computer literate person can probably
do some development himself in VB without too much trouble.
Perl was developed by Larry Wall and is often called the “glue of the Web” since
almost any CGI script and many other features of Websites are the result of Perl.
Perl is not typically a language that would be used for an entire application but for
elements of that application and how it interacts, for example, with Web pages,
although (file under it’s a small world after all) PHP was originally written in Perl.
Perl has very powerful data handling capabilities and is popular in financial
applications for that reason.
Perl programmers are relatively more expensive than C/C++/VB programmers.
“C Sharp” (not “C Pound Sign”) is an object-oriented language developed by
Microsoft as part of the .Net initiative, which makes it appropriate for online
applications and those intended to use standard .Net protocols.
Based on elements of Java and C++, we have not seen that many C#
programmers around, so in the short term expect relatively higher rates from
them if you decide to use this language for your software.
Python is an open-source language developed in 1990 and very similar in
features and functions to Perl.
The last major update to Python was in September 2005.
