I'm no longer in the industry but I think that what EddieJ is saying is that each project will be different but more importantly, whatever language is in vogue today will be out of vogue in a year. I would try to understand how systems work and learn some that are still in use (php, ruby,and node.js were popular when I left a year ago or so) and some type of SQL database. But you won't know what is needed until you are on a real project, so an understanding of how complex systems work is probably most useful. Oddly, learning development environments might be just as important if not more so. Languages come and go, but how systems are developed is constantly evolving. Also, toolkits like jQuery are very important. Some people (like me) still write in native Javascript, but we are a dying breed.

Web Developer essentially requires 3 Languages : HTML , CSS and JavaScript

For a full stack web developer : requires some frameworks such as Ruby on rails,Django(python),Nodejs or Angularjs(created by Google).

The Internet is very helpful to learn as long as it's a credible source. Here you not explain what type of developer you want to become in future. Do you want to be a front-end developer or back-end developer? Here are a few things to know before start your career as web developer

Skill required when you Go for Front end developer



- HTML (especially HTML5)

- CSS (especially CSS3)

- Javascript

- jQuery

- AJAX





Skill required when you Go for Front end developer

- Ruby



Apart from that learn Content Management Systems (CMS) because there are many IT solution Provider Company hiring CMS developer such as WordPress, Joomla!, and Drupal (CMS) just to name a few.

Here is what I have learned over the last few years which has enabled me to design and create websites from scratch.. this is just my personal decision, not recommended by other people but some are just generally needed for web design



1) HTML as the base of the website.



2) CSS so you can style the website and make it look pretty.



3) JavaScript so the users of your website have the interaction like popup menu's etc..



4) PHP this is needed if you want to be able to make your own login systems, registration systems, Log user data etc.. and its all server sided so people cannot change your code



5) MySQL this is needed so you can insert into databases the information you have collected like dates, times, coupon codes, name, age, gender...



So that is what I recommend you learn as that is what I've learnt and It's built my skills dramatically.



Good Luck :)

SQL will definitely be needed. PHP is useful if you are going to be working on sites that are already written (doing maintenance on them, adding features, etc) as a great many sites are written in PHP. PHP itself is a pretty ugly, crappy language and produces code that will be harder to maintain as time goes by so you probably won't want to use it for brand new site projects unless there is a reason you have to. For new projects, Python and Ruby on Rails are great current options that make creating sites much easier, and the code produced will be much easier to maintain.



Almost as important as languages when it comes to web development are frameworks. Since the web was designed to present static documents with hyperlinks, and not to offer interactive applications, it takes a lot of extra code to make a web application which most modern websites actually are. Frameworks help you do this without having to reinvent the same needed things yourself. There are frameworks for the server-side of things and for the client-side of things. For the server-side you might find learning node.js for javascript, Django, Flask, or Pyramid for Python, and Rails for Ruby. On the clientside, there are many popular frameworks such as jQuery (almost universal and definitely a requirement to learn), Bootstrap, Angular, Backbone.js, and many others. They range from being sets of small useful tools to being large projects which will determine the overall structure of your site. There are new ones developed every day, and it is quite challenging to keep up.

I am a software developer already in the field. They are both different and the same. But, I can tell you that a lot of the software I do ends up going into ASP MVC applications now. These are fantastic for forms. Also, try some Angular JS (compliments your JS you're already doing), twitter bootstrap, and some of the other languages on this site: codeacademy.com ; best of luck.

You will have learnt the stuff for a webpage in the client's browser.



There is also all the stuff for the website server. This is usually PHP, and SQL. SQL would be part of a database such as MySQL.



JavaScript now has quite a few libraries built on top of it. It would be useful to learn those. (node.js, ember.js, angular.js, backbone.js).



It would be most useful if you could produce a portfolio of webpages to show prospective employers. They are most impressed by end results.

HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript are becoming popular. Its very similar to what you have been doing, so it wont be difficult to learn. You should also research "Responsive Web Design".



.Net is also a good platform. Especially if you plan to do back end development. C# is more popular but there are a lot of companies that use VB.

Obviously HTML4 and HTML5 familiarity are necessities.  For client-side scripting, JavaScript is the mainstay, but also see TypeScript.  For server-side, C++ and Java, but some facility with PHP and Python is desirable — Wordpress runs on the former, and Pinterest on the latter.



Forget ASP.NET unless you intend to work for Microsoft.

Musts have to be HTML/CSS/JavaScript, and most certainly PHP as well, but PHP can be substituted for something else on a case-by-case basis. All the way from CGI/Perl to latest .NET framework using VB.NET

Depends on what you are looking for:



1. HTML/CSS/JS (simple dynamic websites with minimal data e.g any static website)

2. HTML/CSS/JS/SQL/PHP (highly dynamic websites and web apps with large amount of private and exclusive data like wordpress websites)

3. HTML/CSS/JS/PHP/AngularJs or RubyOnRails (Web applications for enterprise companies like freelancer.com)

4. HTML/CSS/JS/PHP/AngularJs or RubyOnRails/Java or C++ (Highly sophisticated data binding and conversion protect data e.g website/webapps like NASA data centers, Facebook)
