I am a structural engineer by day and am looking to broaden my horizons with respect to creating web applications. All my programming experience is with VBA (!), some LISP, and the native Matlab language at work.

I'm sorry if the above question is incredibly broad, I know so little that I don't really even know how to frame my question. Maybe a more appropriate question would be, what language(s) should I learn in order to throw together a personal blog or similarly simple webpage?

I consider myself an intelligent and technically oriented individual. For the sake of argument, let's assume that I won't have any problems learning the language.
