    HTML, CSS, XHTML, JS, PHP

    Those are the main :)

    I need sites which are easy to understand.

    I think you should start progresivelly.

    Start with javascript and then move to php

    all the other ones, html and css, are things that will help you to setup the graphics.

    If your heart is strong, you can go directly to php, a good start is to follow the tutorials from phpfreaks.com

    to learn this simple language you will need a php driven server, or you can install one on your computer, no matter if you have linux or windows.

    here you go, a package which will install everything you need: apachefriends.org

    download xammp from that place, and you'll have apache php, mysql, pear and all other stuff on your machine instantly.

    don't bother about learning all the stuff, just read some tutorials, and things will become clear.

    learn by example, not by theory, be breave and get yourself into troubles, experiment, and try out different things. once you get it, you can move forward to perl, or python.

    basically php will help you build almost anything, but it requires a lot of time, as any other programming language. and yes, PHP is a programming language (some people call it scripting, but I do not agree, check some google discussions for this one). it is flexible and almost any server out there can load php scripts.

    and don't forget... when coding, always have fun.

    P.S. if you know nothing about HTML, a good place to start is to build your own pages.

    grab an editor, notepad is ok, and use that as the main thing of your work.

    What is your basic knowledge of programming? Do you know any html?

    PHPFreaks is a good starting point for your tutorials and notepad would be good enough an editor, but if you can afford it, Dreamweaver is an excellent tool which can help with many languages.

    Yeah, I'd say start with php too. Javascript is probably more daunting than PHP.

    php.net is an excellent resource. if you are a beginner (and even if your not) get an ide that color codes your code - tis a life saver ;)
