    css should come along html
    and then someday you will slowly add php script and start understanding more.

    I agree you should begin with html as that is the basis of pretty much all of it.

    Thats true, spend more time with xhtml,css, those are the basic you need to get along and then java and php comes at a more advanced stage

    Every language do something else ....

    html - holding the content ( text , pics , videos ... etc. )
    css - design the page ( color , fonts , sizes , padding ... etc.)
    javascript is a client side language - handle what called DOM (document object model) - with javascript
    you can handle the html elements on runtime - change innet-text change style hide an elements show elements
    show Date show messages boxes , you can ReDirect to other pages and much more ...

    PHP / ASP.NET - are SERVER side languages .... with those you mostly use to handle data and run some code before the page come back to the client .... it is good if you want to render different page for each user .... base on his rank or city or gender or what ever ....
    you only need to learn 1 server-side language i work with ASP.NET btw ....



    If you have any question about programming you can PM when ever you what

    Yes all eventually,

    You should learn your CSS along with HTML as CSS will be the design of the page wheras the HTML will be the content.
    Then basically learn javascript or PHP, which i still haven't learnt as you can use many scripts off the internet as you will use this for gadgets/tools and features.

    don't go to deep into the site, just get your index page sorted out first and properly and once that is done the rest of the site will be finished with ease

    I don't think learning html first is really an option. It's more of a prerequisite nothing else would make any sense without a solid understanding of html

    I agree with everyone else. HTML/CSS together and then a server side scripting language. PHP is the most popular and probably your best bet.

    There are a lot of good websites that can teach you the basics but I suggest getting some books and working through them in addition to your classes. If you wait around on the time table your class instructor has setup it'll take months to learn things you can pick up in weeks on your own.
