I have seen one website www.w3schools.com. There I have found many languages to learn like HTML, Javascript, PHP, ASP, ASP.Net and many more. I want a to make a professional website like some of the best that exist today. So what languages I should learn for that. I want to focus that I cannot learn everything so please don't advice me to learn every language.

HTML and CSS are all you need. The easiest ones. And although you will only obtain static websites, most of websites don't need dynamic content management and so.

With HTML and CSS, try to observe the standards (W3C) and all will work fine in most of explorers. Keep in mind that is more important make a quite good website for almost all explorers than make a really very very very very very... very good one only for Firefox, for example...

I concur on the above: keep to static websites at first. Later on it is a good idea to learn programming languages, but don't rush into it: you might want to use Javascript with your static pages to "liven" themo up, and for making dynamic pages you will probably want to use php since it is a web standard. However python, using the Django framework, is also a growing trend.

Also, English is also important. Make sure your English is correct -- and then use a spellchecker just to make sure. There's nothing worse than websites full of incorrect English.

HTML and CSS are the most basic, after you master those, I'd look into PHP and Javascript.

I second that.

And consider that two of the most popular sites are CraigsList and Drudge.

Not stellar examples of webdesign, but what draws visits is content.

Then usablility.

If you don't know anything then this is the best order

HTML
CSS
JavaScript
PHP with MySQL
AJAX

Anyway the recommended site is http://www.w3schools.com

HTML and CSS are the basic languages for web development, you can master PHP and Javascript afterwards.

You are right guys, HTML is the basic one. Now I'm learning something of PHP, but little by little...

And English of course, in order to programming your web.

you used first try to be more familiar to html and css. than jumping php asp.net and etc. like others sad take your time. and most importantly try to enjoy. one mistake that ive got before was jumping to one or another..because i got bored. try to enjoy .. also when we talk about programming language there is always a prerequisite to each other .. meaning.. if you want to learn javascript you must have knowledge to html and css.. so with php.. you must have knowlegde to html javascript and css and so on... one more thing .. look for examples of a powerful ,profesional,killer website and what language they are made to ...

example.. facebook.com is made of "php language"

while "myspace.com made out of asp.net"

so hope this one help you my friend:drool:
