This is a pretty general question– What scripting languages do you have to learn to run a large site?. Take dribbble for example. They're a three man team and yet such a large website. What scripting languages do you have to know? Other than the usual HTML, CSS…. I assume some PHP & some database knowledge? I want to know specific names of scripting languages, equipment, programs that a website such as dribbble would use.
One would be PHP & mySQL on the server side stuff and HTML, CSS, and JavaScript/jQuery for the front end even though most people are proberbly going to say that you could do it in Wordpress lol.
doesn't have to be PHP, either (shame on me!). There are dozens of appropriate server-side programming languages -- python, ruby, even javascript (node.js). I even read an article about a highly successful site that was written in lisp! Like anyone even knows what that is!
However, you need to consider that it's not the language that will sink or save you. It's how well you design and implement.
You'll need to pick one of them, but you could try NoSQL, SQL Server (although the license fee for this is mental), SQLite, PostgreSQL etc.
