Reply:HTML is not a programming language, it is a markup language. It describes a document's layout and does not contain either executable or interpreted code.





Since your doing HTML, javascript seems like a natural evolution for a richer client side browsing experience. Or you could create more dynamic page frameworks by learning PHP or ASP.





If you want to learn real programming languages, C++, C# or Java are the way to go.
Reply:Hi,


There are lot many things can be done if you know HTML and JavaScript.


You can now start working on Web2.0 concepts. Now the world is moving towards AJAX, here you need more java script and some knowledge of serverside. It'll an added advantage if you can learn some server side scripting languages like ASP.net, JSPor PHP.





All The Best.

Reply:if you plan on working with HTML a lot learn CSS (if you have not) and HTML. If you plan to be more of a programer, then I would sugest maybe java or Peral
Reply:PHP -


php makes site functions run. search engines, forums, membership related stuff. you name it - php you need to know it.





If html is the skin, php is the organs!





The good thing is -it's really easy!





it's like broken down english. It uses html aswell.
Reply:As the web techologies is in hike, its is better to study .Net and J2EE
Reply:Java script is very interesting to learn, but it is up to you since I am not the sort of person to tell others what that must do. There are so many new programs to learn ex;PowerPoint so think if you want to learn that and then start. Good luck in learning!!
Reply:Javascript is great to learn. If you haven't studied any XHTML, and want a quick course, you can learn the difference between HTML and XHTML in two weeks.
Reply:css / php / BB / C++?
