I've learned most of HTML and JS, and a little bit of C. I was wondering what I should go for next in terms of programming and markup languages. DHTML, XML, ASP, PHP, etc.; C, C++, etc. I'm just curious as to what languages are most useful/best to know. Thanks

Okay, thanks, that sounds good for programming. What about internet languages? ML, DB, etc.

My 2 cent probably would mean,

yeah you've learn't as much as HTML or JS you want to know...

What level you at Beginner, Intermediate, or Expert?

1 Question you should ask yourself also, is what area do I want to specialise in?

Another question is,
what do you want to be a web developer? or a coder for desktop apps,
and what platform you want to code for?
Do you like the platform of MS or do you want to do a linux/Java Enviroment?

My Advice? Don't think about Java, it sucks IMHO. (Flame suit already on!) :D

I can program in HTML, DHTML, XML, XSL, ASP, Javascript/JScript. And can code quite well with Visual Basic (But have since left it behind)..

However, I am in the process of Learning C++, and Its really difficult.. I have quite a few tutorials on this subject, as not one of these has the complete answers.

Im waiting for C#. Microsoft.Net Platform is gonna rock. So much so, Oracle is developing its own, to try and woo developers to it.

So the path I have chosen is that of a Web Developer..

Cheers! :D

If you are interested in web development then I suggest PHP. It's very powerful and pretty easy to learn. Java is also a good choice...

C#? Bah... I haven't seen anything to indicate that it's anything other than a Microsoft-controlled Java clone with syntax that is slightly closer to C++ than Java's syntax.

I'm not sure how to answer most of those questions. My thinking is that I'll do a wide variety of languages, and hopefully I'll find what suits me best. I'm seventeen right now, so I still have a bit of leeway.

xml will ultimatly be something that is capable of being an interpeter for all of the visual products (check out the .net series for the visual studio)...meaning that no matter what language you code in it will all be able to be translated into xml.... :)
thats my choice anyhow...

also, if you know HTML (style sheets) and JS then you dont really need to worry about DHTML...it is just interactivity....

XML is a data specification and markup language, not a programming language. Or am I misunderstanding your point?
