    Start learning about PHP, I don't have to tell more about this, just Google it and you will find everything you need. Good luck :)

    If you're gonna be a web-developer, here's a few things you should pick up:
    HTML (it's a given - you sorta need to know HTML to be able to make even a basic web page)
    CSS (to style the HTML you've written)
    Javascript (maybe even a framework, like jQuery) - to enhance and provide extra benefits for users
    PHP - the most common server-side language for web-development - what you need to process input from users, access and parse database-content, etc. etc.
    MySQL - good to know if you want to also do the database-bit - the most common DB-language on the web, although some newcomers have taken some ground the last few years.

    Follow Popsicles advice. I'd start with HTML and go from there..

    You can find some great video tutorials from TheNewBoston.

    Hi Chancey,
    If you want to become a good web developer first you should learn CSS, JAVA Script and SQL. Also you have to learn programming language like JAVA, PHP, .NET, etc. You may want to read this article: http://mashable.com/2014/01/21/learn-programming-languages/#:eyJzIjoiZiIsImkiOiJfZGZndTY2dmZnaWFuZ2lkNyJ9 in which it is described that which programming language should be learned.

    Okay - it's "Javascript" - not JAVA Script or anything at all to do with JAVA (which is a language all of its own, and has nothing to do with javascript at all). Second, you really, REALLY don't need to, nor should you, learn JAVA for web development. Mostly, what I can say, if you feel you need to use JAVA for a web-based project, you're doing something wrong. The only reason for using JAVA is if you need to access hardware on the client side (for instance running hardware-checkers for drive-updates etc.).

    First start to learn HTML/CSS (it's important)
    It need simple software like notepad. You will get lot of tutorials on YouTube or W3schools.

    After That u can start to learn some web programming languages, which will help you to build beautiful websites.
    PHP is becoming so popular right now, because it is easy to learn and its security and functionality...
    Asp. net is also one of the best language which u must have to learn...
    And yse don't forget about MySQL or SQL...

    Once you learn any one programming language u will know what you want to do in future :p

    Technically it's JavaScript...note the cap. Though REALLY we should be saying ECMAScript -- We still just call it JavaScript because the name stuck after that sleazy back-room deal between Nyetscape and Sun. Sadly you say ECMAScript in a conversation and even people who should know go "What the *** is that?"

    Remember my old signature?

    JavaScript is to Java as hamburger is to ham.

    Learn PHP if you want an easy approach to building websites. If you want to be an actual engineer/programmer and not just a developer, say to start a career, I would suggest learning Ruby/Rails or Python/Django.

    With any of these, you will need to know HTML and CSS at the minimum, and JavaScript if you intend to make dynamic websites.
