I don't know much of either languages, but what would be better for writing applications that deals with the following. Right now, I use PHP, but I'm looking to see what would be the next ideal language to dig into, if the needs arise.

• MySQL
• off-line data processing of CSV, XML, etc. files
• web applications (dynam开发者_JAVA技巧ic websites)

I understand that this could quite possibly be subjective.. so if you could just pitch in some pros and cons, that would be superb. TIA!

If you come from PHP, JAVA is probably a bit easier than C++ for you.

If you are looking to make dynamic websites with a programming language you should look into C#
