PHP

This is the most common language used for web programming as it can run on almost every server with minimal configuration. Basically designed for Linux server with Apache, it can also run on windows server too. Being a open source programming language it gives high ability to developers to design any sort of program using it.

C#

It is developed by Microsoft as part of .Net initiative. Inspired by C and C++ is highly similar to Java. It is mostly useful to those developers who are dependent on Microsoft for most of their programming work.

Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML)

Technically, Ajax is not a programming language though it is capable of doing high end works on the client side which is not possible in doing with normal languages like PHP. Ajax uses XHTML and JavaScript to create interactive web application. The latest web 2.0 trends are highly affected by Ajax and most of web’s latest innovations like Gmail, Google reader and other interactive applications are developed in Ajax.

JavaScript

JavaScript is not what JAVA stands for. It is a object oriented programming languages that run on client side. It is easier than JAVA, has simplified set of rules, easier to code and required no complier. It is highly used on million of web pages to validate forms and detect other browser options.
