When you say domain specific, do you mean the difference between
viewing on the web vs. viewing in an application?
I know C# is an application language. You can not use PHP in
constructing an application? Is this what you mean by domain specific?

I don't really agree with this. Learning a domain-specific language
like AS3 teaches a fairly narrow view of programming and how it works.
It's always useful to learn other languages, but choose something
complimentary such a server-side scripting language - PHP, C#
whatever.
A general-purpose programming language (C#, Python) complements
anything. My problem with recommending PHP is that it's another
domain-specific language.
