I'll chime in, but I will not toe the line. Besides, everyone already knows Django is the right answer :) But seriously, there are great web frameworks and tools for nearly every language. Find the language that you like, get to know the 2 or 3 top web frameworks and pick one of them. Web dev is sooo better than it was 10+ years ago. It can actually be fun :) With regard to Django changing too often: 1) I've never personally had an issue with it 2) I welcome progress and will pay the small price for it 3) They're careful to document backwards incompatible changes and always give a sane migration path and 4) Nearly every version adds things I've been wanting and makes my code base smaller and easier to manage. Also, any framework is going to have *some* overhead getting to know it; it's the price you pay to get started. It pays off time and time again. Happy hacking!
