Default Re: Coding

I agree with Fingulfin, go for HTML first then. Do it by hand though, don't use something like dreamweaver. Using that will teach you semantics and the frustrating bits when something doesn't work because you didn't write something EXACTLY like the browsers want to. While you are at it, look at CSS. The best resource for that would be CSSZenGarden.com which features ONE html page (the html is identical for EVERY design) and only the CSS changes per page. And they got something like 200 designs on there by now. Learn by copying and messing around with it, best thing you can do there.

You could then easy slip into PHP from there, as you can use PHP and HTML in unison inside the same file. That alone will make it fast and easy to learn. I would not go for Javascript though. It is handy to know if you do webpages, but if you want to create programs that run on their own, Visual Basic, Java or C++ are better solutions for that, so you should rather go for them later.
