Pardon my curiosity, but if you had to advise someone who is just starting out developing websites today, which technology would you recommend him or her to learn?

ASP Classic. 
That is a huge question! I've moved to ASP.Net Core 2 Razor Pages just because I like the look of it.

Thanks! My grandson is currently learning Javascript and I suspect the day is near when he will want to learn doing websites.

No problem but please bear in mind that my answer is predicated on my own bias - I think that is the right way to go but there are plenty of other places for him to start.
He could start here, for instance:
Teaching Kids Programming with C# | Pluralsight[^]
Keep your friends close. Keep Kill your enemies closer.

Thanks for all the advice. I will keep it in mind!

It ain't no thang, but here it is - Paddedwall.Org[^]
I turned off the opinions page because i'm starting the search for new employment.
I think it's fairly mobile-compatible, too.

I can't help but notice if I may:

Does that mean it took you 25 years to come up with this?

No. It means the web site has existed in one form or another on the same domain since 1993.

If that "opinions page" is what I think it might be, then I never thought I'd live to see the day - JSOP is practicing self-censorship.

It's actually self-preservation. I ain't exactly PC, yet I still need to work.

That is a rather macabre what-ever-you-may-call-it image, particularly since you are searching for new employment. May I ask your motive behind it given it is likely the first thing someone hiring will see of your site?
[EDIT] I quickly perused your site. It is a mishmash of information. May I ask who your intended audience is?
[EDIT] The main index page should be accessible from the current page (e.g. by way of a menu option or path bread crumbs). This is not possible with your site. The only way to return to the main index page is by clicking on 'paddedwall.org' in the header. You may want to make this change.

I think I might be the only person that visits the site. Beyond that, you may want to re-read the slogan under the sight header.
For the record though, I was already considering a bread-crumbs kinda deal, even though it's redundant once you discover that clicking the site name will take you back to the beginning.

Sorry John. It was my mistake to assume your comment about seeking new employment might be related to your site. Sincere apologies. On another note, congrats are in order for the success in implementing the technologies you referred to. Regardless of which technology is used, I find that being able to implement an app or site is personally gratifying.
Cheers,
Ian

Nice work
Quote: I have this bizarre outlook with regards to writing code - I do it because it's fun. I don't really care how much money I make, or that one day I'll become a manager of some kind - I do it for the pure enjoyment of doing it. It just happens that there are people out there that will pay me to do what I consider to be a hobby. Sure, I've had other hobbies, but at some point I reach a level of proficiency that makes the hobby almost boring. I've found programming to be a whole different animal.
Amen brother

Too late. You must be using Angular whatever version is latest by the time you read this. That's the best thing and it will change the web forever. And by forever, I mean the time they take to release newer version or some cool kid comes up with yet another JS framework.

So, I forwarded the image to my progeny and their spousal units (and some kin folk) - as they tend to think I'm a bit hyper.
They don't realize how easy-going I (We) are when you consider how few users we kill each year.

unfortunately since the web was handed to the public the idiots way outnumber (or at least out shout) the normal folk.
They tried to soak them all up into facebook but way too many still roam free... and since it became a relevance feature on TV cop shows there's idiots on the "dark web." (which is itself not as they portray it.)
