JavaScript

First of all, despite the name, JavaScript has very little to do with Java. About the only thing the two have in common is that they're both programming languages. If you know php, you're one rainy afternoon away from figuring out JavaScript. But when it comes to Java, you may be an php god, but you ain't no programmer: One look at that Sanskrit-ish code and you'll sign up for a class. Or just stick to JavaScript, which can still do a lot toward making your Web pages dynamic. By dropping JavaScript right in with the php, you can do things like create the oh-so-popular roll-over (roll your mouse over an image and a new image is swapped into its place) or pop witty text into the status bar (at the bottom of the browser window).
