    Hey everyone, I am wanting to start my own site.
    It'll be a forum site and it will also have a portal page.

    I know C++/C# but do not know any web design languages.

    I know you have to learn HTML/CSS, could someone briefly explain what other things I need to learn?
    I am a fast learner and I am also dedicated!

    html/css/php/javascript . This is what you need to now to make you're site. But for a forum , you can install a cms . phpbb is free, alse you can try invision power board or vbulletin, but you'll have to pay for them .

    Whatever you see on a browser is HTML irrespective of backend server side scripting you use PHP/ASP etc. And to style HTML tags we use CSS. Begining you can start with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP/ASP

    Another item not mentioned here is where is the site hosted? On windows or linux? There are different procedures for setting up the servers depending on the OS so you're going to need to readup on Apache or IIS configuration.
