Making a webpage

[ibex333]

I want to learn to make webpages WITHOUT using things like Dreamweaver or Frontpage. I'm doing this for myself, just to learn something new and useful in my life.
My question is this: is it enough to learn just HTML to be able to make my own webpage, or I need to know things like Java and Flash? Do you people know any webpages that offer free online lessons on the above topics? How hard are HTML, Java and Flash to learn? Do they require years to learn or can be learned in a fairly short time?

Thanx.

HTML is enough, but it'll be good to learn CSS as well.

Java's pretty much irrelevant to web design. Javascript would be useful, but not until you've got a good grasp on html (and do css before javascript, like screw3d said).
