    Well, I suggest you get a bit more knowledge about HTML/CSS.

    Here is a good site
    
    www.htmldog.com
    
    Code (markup):
    Worked through that? Good, now you can start to get better with PHP
    http://devzone.zend.com/6/php-101-php-for-the-absolute-beginner/
    http://tut.php-quake.net/en/index.html
    
    Code (markup):
    A bit of javascript doesn't hurt either[
    
    http://www.w3schools.com/js/default.asp
    
    Code (markup):


    With these, you should be able to make some nice websites.

    Just start with HTML and CSS after that learn about C++ because C++ can help to learn easily PHP, JS, Java and more languages that you want to learn. w3schools and java2s those website that can help to learn more and more languages.:)

    Yes, it should be no problem.

    HTML/CSS is pretty easy

    PHP is a bit harder, but with the tutorials provided, you should be able to get it pretty soon.

    that depends upon ur purpose. If you want do general web development learn php and javascript. if you want enterprise level development u can learn either java or C# and if you want to do system level development learn c++, C . there are so many languages both general purpose and for specific purpose. eg x10 is for parallel programming.

    Jason, I would suggest you to go for HTML/CSS. Also learn using web designing tools such as photoshop, dreamweaver, etc. These are most important in web designing.

    Hi Jason,

    You should definitely start by learning HTML and CSS, as these are the most important languages in web design. PHP and Javascript can also be pretty important, but I suggest you start with HTML and CSS because you can't really do anything without them. It's also useful to learn how to use photoshop and/or similar software for graphics and images. You can learn anything, everywhere on the internet. There isn't one specific place that's better than others :)

    - Jason.

    Hey Jasonlwe, You didn't mention about your choice web development or application development. But I'll give some advice. If you want to become Web developer as i gausse from question. You should learn PHP (as you mention you know basic of PHP). You can also learn ASP.net. The benefit of learning ASP.net over PHP is that in future if you would want move to Application development ASP.net give you platform to move easily ( as .net is for many development like Web Development, Software Development, Cloud computing software development, Window Phone application development and many more). And If want to become a Application programmer the you can learn .net as i mention above.
