Lots of ways you could go, but I'm a fan of python coming from a C background but wanting a more dynamic language.
Python for the language (if you know c/c++ your 90% of the way to learning python, LOTS of cross knowledge). Use matplotlib for graphing.
Personally a fan of web2py (web2py.org) for non-performance intensive sites, classified as anything that probably won't get slashdotted. Incredibly easy to use and learn, really powerful, good documentation, and tons of bells and whistles without getting in your way. Only drawback is performance IMHO, but I am using it for a system serving about 2k concurrent requests on a project here at work (across 4 minimal spec servers)
Checkout pythonanywhere if you go that direction, simple and easy, really cheap too. Even if not hosting with them, just testing and developing remotely during initial phase is very simple there.

I'm looking for suggestions for platforms that will get something simple up and running pretty quick.--I have a passing familiarity with ASP.Net, but I don't want to use .Net for this. Unfortunately I don't have any experience with other platforms.I'd like something with syntax that doesn't depart too far from what I know (Pascal, C, C#), has some easy libraries for producing basic graphs, and has a good framework for getting something up and running with a minimum of effort.There are probably lots of options, so I thought I'd see if any of you can recommend a favorite that you think I ought to learn.Thanks!DaveK
