    Hyper Text Markup Language - The backbone of websites
    PHP - Actually I don't know much about PHP :/
    Cascading Style Sheets - the coding that makes a site look better

    Wikipedia is your friend though. Go there.

    html is the most popular, because its easy to use.

    and depends on what you are doing, if you are making scripts php is prefered, but there are so many languages and each one has weaknesses and strengths

    HTML - foundation of all web pages, except those made with XML
    XML - language mainly used to display data, but can be used for MANY things (look on Wikipedia for more info)
    XHTML - supposedly a combination between HTML and XML; I use this language for the web pages I code
    JavaScript - a programming language that allows a web programmer to offer lots of interactivity, via AJAX; one of the commonly used languages to exploit IE; programming language that MySpace 'worm' was made in
    ASP - server side language, can only be run on a server using IIS
    PHP - a open-licensed server side language; fairly popular; used to code PHPbb, and versions of IPB and vBulletin



    That's just off the top of my head...there is an endless number of web programming languages...just research, and find what you're looking for. For more info on those languages, try Wikipedia.

    PHP is one of the best, easiest general-purpose scripting language. It easily incorporates syntax to coroperate with a mySQL database, and is very powerful. It is also becoming an even better OO language.

    Using a combination of DHTML (Dynamic HTML), CSS, and PHP, you can easily create a fantastic site.

    I can't believe I forgot CSS, considering I encounter it many times per day. But anyways, XHTML relies on CSS, for the most part, in order to be compliant. :)

    If I was on my boards, I do believe a [face_doh] would be in order. :wacko:

    The term DHTML is confusing (and really ought to be defunct), because DHTML is not an actual language - just a way of utilising JavaScript to jazz up websites. AJAX is a similarly confusing title.

    Perl is also one of the most useful server-scripting languages available and is great for web programming, which why it's suprising that no one bothered mentioning it, as it has a lot more scope than PHP or ASP.
