    Given the frameworks/ languages etc are all still evolving it is an ongoing thing. I would much more challenge why you want to learn PHP, JSP. CFM and ASP.Net given the fact they are non-complimentary?

    Once you have learned one the second will be slightly easier. Once you have learned 2 the rest will be significantly easier, especially if you look for commonality like programming the ASP.Net in J# or C#

    Never touched PHP so cannot say about its complexity to learn but on the surface of what I would say it is middle of the road - not as "english" as say VB.Net but not as alien or anal as some others.

    HTML/ CSS are markup and so fairly easy to learn and not overly difficult to become highly proficient in.

    i think if you spend 3-4 hrs on a daily basis.... you should be able to do it in 3 months time.... should not be that difficult..

    Hrm, after spending 2 semesters in Java and a semester in C#, I learned PHP enough to write pages in it in 2 days. Your first language is going to be difficult as hell, but after you know the basics of programming, ie. loops, arrays, if statements, etc... another language is usually just the syntax and a couple rules about not being able to do the same thing the same way in another language. Once you know what search terms to do, it's easy. Basically you know how to do it in one language, so you Google "declare array variable php" or whatever. your first language is gonna take at least 6 months though IMHO. You may be able to pull it off in 3 if you stick to it every day.

    Programming languages are a never ending learning curve. I've been doing C++ for six years now and learn new things everyday. It's like learning the English language, Spanish, Chinese. You learn new things every day.
