chris82 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 HTML/XHTML is used to present the content. It's used to put the actual stuff on the site. CSS is used to customize how this stuff looks. Colors, text-size, etc... PHP is a server-side scripting language which can make a website's HTML dynamic based on specific user conditions. It is used for websites which are either customizable, dynamic, or are made up of content generated by the user (or a combination of all three) JavaScript is a client-side scripting language mainly used to change appearances on the user's computer. Used to enhance a website's functionality or looks, mostly on the client's side. First two are essential for making a website, PHP and JS are necessary only if you want to make a website that is dynamic (like this one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmac Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 A good way to learn is to use a WYSIWYG editor such as Frontpage. Some may disagree, But it helps. Also WYSIWYG pretty much means you see what you're doing, So you're not just looking at code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TM™ Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 It's better to learn mainly HTML and CSS. PHP, MySQL and JavaScript should be learnt after you've learnt HTML along with CSS. You could possibly fit in a bit of JavaScript coding, but then again, if you really want your site to be truly interactive between the data and the visitors, then it's essential to have something like that. Start off with the basics of HTML, then gradually work your way up to CSS, PHP, MySQL etc. It will take you some time to get use to, that is if you're not very known to the elements of HTML. CSS is rather easy if you understand HTML, then when it comes to PHP, MySQL and JavaScript, you're gonna have a hard time on it, but then you'll gradually get better at that too.
