Hello All,

After getting a pretty good grasp on Java and learning the basics of C++ and C# I have decided to have a go at some web development.
I have started with PHP and it wasn't long before I was creating loops and if statements thanks to my previous knowledge in programming. I have also picked up a very minimal knowledge of HTML over the last few years. So I'm just wondering what languages and programs are vital in order to learn web development.

Thanks.

If you want to learn web development in java, you need to learn JavaEE. And it is one of the most rewarding technology. JSP, Java Servlet, tomcat, jboss are some of them.

For basic web development you have to know HTML and CSS and how to use them correctly. After you have that mastered you can begin with all the fun advanced stuff. IF your just starting web dev I'd master HTML&CSS until I could do them without thinking about them. Do keep in mind while looking that HTML 5 is not fully released yet and most of its syntax is not supported by IE which still has 78% of users out there.
-Just my noob tips.

Alright I'll start with HTML and see how it goes.

If you are looking for an easy "entry level" programming language for web-pages, vbScript (asp3) is *very much* for you. Staring with vbScript will allow you to:
1) Mature into .NET, if need be.
2) Start learning an easy language that is far more readable than PHP.
3) Run using almost any standard web hosting plan.
4) Not worry about OOP until you mature into it as a developer, and give you basic support for it when you do.
5) Focus on the single web-page and it's basic technologies such as HTML and CSS as opposed to needing to conceptualize entire systems in .NET.

As mentioned, HTML, CSS and JavaScript are a bare *must* for a fledgeling web developer, no way around needing to understand them at least a little.

Stay away from classic ASP (vbScript). Seriously, it's a nightmare. ADOQuery objects are flaky and temperamental, at best. Just, no. PHP or ASP.NET would be MUCH better options, based on modern technologies/languages.

In order to have more information about website development suited for the Internet, it is crucial to know how to conduct analysis. You wont get any desired results by simply jumping into the race rather it will be wastage of resources and time. Therefore it is essential to analyse what kind of market you have for your website and products and services offered. Search engines and web directories are appropriate places to gain idea about similar markets. Even if you dont have detailed knowledge about website development or application development before that it is important to have knowledge about the market for your website.
