Hi,

I'm interested in developing web application and networking application. For that what is the best script language to learn. Which one is effective for this two. So for, i don't know even a single syntax of any scripting language. Which is the best script for understanding, maintainable, effective and simple (may not).

Please don't say what are all you know. Please tell me the best

There are no bests. It is possible in all the scripting languages (Perl, Python, Ruby). Check the documentation at the respective sites and select for yourself the one that suits your way of thinking/coding.

Mohanavel, the question as it stands can not be answered until you define what you mean by "best".

That aside, when it comes to programming languages... Just pick one, learn it, find out what's crap in it, then move onto another language. As a programmer you need to learn many languages anyway.

A: 

Use python for your web applications (Django framework will do the trick for your)

Then for socket programming use Python again (Twisted python package will be the library to use for networking functionality)

Best of luck

Ruby has the most simple syntax and with Ruby On Rails (which is a framework) you can get a web application working in a few minutes.

You'll never find a consensus as to which language is best, ever, until the end of time. That being said, Python seems like a good fit for what you're trying to do.

I dispute that... When the end of time finally comes around, we STILL won't have a consensus! We may, however, have a consensus once hell has frozen over, though...
