    What languages I should learn to make a killer website

    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...

    Re: What languages I should learn to make a killer website

    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.

    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.
