[mapserver-users] Mapscript alternatives

Greetings.

I use a pre-compiled Win32 binary of mapserver and I've got a pretty good
handle on the CGI portion, mapserv.  I figured out HTML and javascript, but
I feel limited and want to jump into Mapscript.  However, prior to using
mapserver I'd never even heard of perl, python or PHP, nor have I done any C
compiling.

My question is:  What are the pros/cons of each?  How hard is it to get
started (from scratch) in these things?  Is one more powerful than another?
How?

Any suggestions or links would be great.  Thanks for your time.
