I've been developing for the web since before bubble 1.0, which I guess makes me an old timer. Most of that work has been on LAMP; specifically PHP, but I've worked on Python, Rails, Java (Servlets/JSP), Erlang and even a little ASP (without the .Net).
I'm at home with PostgreSQL and MySQL, and I can get by with Oracle and SQL Server.
All my dev work to date has been on web-enabled applications, and I maintain interests in developing for rich interaction, and scalability and architecture for highly parallel/distributed web systems.
