In my opinion php, Laravel framework is very easy or wordpress to blog platform

You could try becoming master at HTML and CSS. Make beautiful website designs.

I am not a programmer, but I employ enough of them.

HTML, PHP/MySQL, CSS and Javascript will take you pretty far to start.

Ideally you should learn basic front end first, HTML, CSS and JavaScript (JQuery).

When you get comfortable with them you can either move to the back end stuff or you can go deeper with the front end.

If you decide to work more with the front end you should additionally learn SASS, Twitter Bootstrap, Gulp or Grunt and a JavaScript framework (I would suggest Angular.js or Backbone.js).

If you decide to go into the server side programming you can pick either node.js, PHP (Laravel) or Ruby (on Rails) [I think Python would work as well] and MySQL for Databases

That should keep you busy for a while, and after that you'll be able to build some pretty awesome websites.

If you know a little bit of front-end like html, as you said, that's a good start. Html is easy to learn. Back-end languages are not so easy. It takes time to learn.

You're asking about the difference between PHP and Python. You should start learning both and then choose one of them, or any other one. When you choose a back-end language, you should learn only that language until you get very good at it. I am a Python engineer so of course I prefer Python. Here is a link to the python wikipedia. This page lists the differences and the common elements:https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonVsPhp

HTML, CSS, PHP, Python, C

HTML, Javascript (browser), CSS.

PHP (back end)

SQL (data base)

If you don't have corporate enterprisey stuff to worry about those languages will get the basics done.

Then you'll need some frameworks. AngularJS is one. Wordpress is another. There are more frameworks. Many many more.

HTML, Javascript (browser), CSS

HTML - CSS - MYSQL - PHP - Javascript - JQuery

Is what 80% of the web is built on - so theirs a lot of tutorials to get started, all of the above you can run on Linux or Windows.

If you go the Microsoft route, just switch the PHP for C#

PHP, HTML, CSS, Javascript , SQL(MySQL) thats what most websites use also facebook used to get programmed in. For some special sites you need also C#/C and Perl. But like topcoder said 80(I would say even 95)% of every website you will come across is using atleast one of these languages.

My suggestion:
1. Learn HTML to learn how to build a website.
2. Learn CSS to learn how to design your website.
3. Learn PHP in combination with MySQL because this is backend stuff that you need for your tasks
4. Learn Javascript but JS is for frontend to make this more interactive.

Asking what programming language you should learn is exactly like asking what spoken or written language you should learn. Ultimately, its up to you. What feels right for you? What are your end goals as a developer, not just this particular project you have in mind?

First, an important note is to understand the difference between client side code, and server side code. The web works kind of like the mail system. The pony express on steroids, if you will.

Imagine you're writing a letter to the director at the "LIBRARY OF INTERNET THINGS." The director will send you any document that you've requested which the library has access to. You send the director a letter which says "Please get me the document located at /classifieds/3/". The director goes and gets the information, puts together the information he found in an envelope, and sends it back to you.

In this example, you are a client. You send requests to the server, which is the director. The server goes to the database, finds the information, formats some HTML, and sends what information was found back to the client.

As people have mentioned, HTML, CSS, and Javascript(* Javascript is the exception to this..) are absolute musts, and are not really "programming languages." They are simply front-end, client side information which talks about how a website should be displayed. In the example, they are the look of the letter which is sent back to the user. HTML & CSS do not really handle any processing of information, they really just handle looks. Javascript is an exception to this rule, but you'll learn about that in time.

Once that is out of the way, you have to think about how to write the director. For this, I personally do not think it matters what language you use. Use whatever you feel comfortable with, whichever feels natural. Like spoken language, some languages are great at certain things, others very explicit and concise, others a mish-mash of other languages. PHP is the prominent language of the web, but probably because of accessibility to it. It is the "english" of the web development languages. It's well seasoned, but has a semi notorious rap for ignoring a lot of the conventions one would expect in a language. Its historically just kind of done whatever it wants, hack-your-way-through a project, but it has been very successful at doing that.

You could go .NET, Python, Ruby, or even C++ or any other language if you wanted to. What matters is the end result, not the language. As someone who has dealt with a lot of these languages, Laravel or other PHP frameworks can be very technical, in that you also need to have a decent understanding of what is happening on the database side of things. There are frameworks which abstract that away, such as Django or other Python libraries, and I think they're fairly accessible to newcomers, so that would be my suggestion.

Best of luck learning! Be sure to stick with it. Everyone who has learned to program has likely had that "aha" moment when things clicked. At that point, you can easily learn any language you want in a matter of a few days. But it will take you some time getting there.

hi,
dear if you learn any programming language then you need to learn C. if you learn C then you can easily learn PHP, Database. then you learn Wordpress.
you can learn before HTML, CSS,
you can learn JavaScript, jQuery etc.
if you learn all of language then you will be a good programmer.

You have to learn PHP for creating a classified website and using this language you can create specified functions.

PHP and wordpress is the best for you
You need to learn HTML, CSS, JS to improve Wordpress

I suggest you PHP,MY SQL,HTML and CSS and java script is good enough. Best is PHP facebook also using PHP language.Little bit advance.But variable declaring and make formulas is like other programming languages.How ever you can try both of them.

I've dabbled with PHP for the occasional site and it's probably the most widely used server side language of course, but consider something too that's useful both server side and for local app development.. C# / MVC and perhaps Node.js...

Facebook using PHP Programming. If you want to learn framework, the easiest framework is codeigniter. I think Codeigniter is powerful framework. Then, the framework design, you can use bootstrap as simple process.

Lets start learn with Html, CSS, PHP, My Sql, Angular Js. Try to learn frameworks in Php it helps to create interactive sites.

1.PHP for server side code - verifying users etc.
2. if you know some basics of JavaScript I would go directly to JQuery
3. Python - forget for the moment until you become confident with PHP
4. Start with tutorials on YouTube, and the only way to learn them is to "Start-Coding"

Best Languages are For Learn is PHP,Java,HTML and css.

I recently build a site for reading newspaper in Laravel and it has many of the functions that you mentioned, so i think that Laravel could help you with that. It is quite simple, but of course, you need to know basics of programming.

Learn first html, css, php, and databases. You can study a bit of ruby, python and c#. Use framework like Code Igniter, Zend and Laravel. You can also learn ASP.net if you want to.

To start with, I assume that you know enough about HTML+CSS to develop a simple blog. Blogger uses HTML and WordPress uses PHP, so you can actually start a blog to practice and test out how your codes will work. Front-end languages and development is easy to learn.

For back end languages, PHP is one you can try. It is quite simple (though inconsistent) to start with. As an alternate (and a much better one at that) you can try Node.js. It is a development framework, based on JavaScript. So considering that you have knowledge of JavaScript, you won't feel intimidated by Node.js

The three languages that you definitely need to know would be
1. HTML
2. CSS
3. JavaScript

If you are comfortable and willing to use PHP, then by all means go for it. It is a rather old language and so it is not uncommon for people to run into problems. However, you will find a lot of resources and tutorials for it available online. However, if you are looking for raw performance, Node.js is the way to go. You can bypass PHP entirely, since Node.js uses JavaScript both in front-end and back-end. Also, with Node.js, you can develop web apps as well, so you'd be secure if you ever plan to do so. Check this blog post out for a brilliant comparison between Node.js and PHP.

To answer the second part of your question: You won't find a language easier than Python. It is highly capable and has varying applications, from scripting web pages, web apps to full-fledged desktop applications. One drawback would be that there is only one right way of doing things in Python. Why? Because Python is all about elegance. But that shouldn't stop you from trying new things.

Hey bro.. if you want to create something like facebook, you have to be an expert coder.
Start with html/css first and then go deep. Try w3 school first. It has very nice tutorials.

if its desktop software you want to make then I would recommend visual studio, I have done all my apps in that and its very easy to learn.

Seriously it depends on what type of application/web application you want to make but you should start learning with basics of html and html5, then jquery/javascript if you want to go for the web application , you should start learning any web languages like php or asp.net with c# if you want to go into web

The best advice is ios, android & video creation.

This is the best career as of now. I have many inquires come in in this area, but really hard to find quality people

If you want to create your own website, then i think PHP, Java, c, c++, HTML, Javascript (browser), CSS, SQL(MySQL) thats what most websites use also facebook used to get programmed in.

Before we go into comparing programming languages, let's first take a look at the languages we're going to be covering.1 JavaScript

2 Ruby

3 Python

4 PHP

5 Java

6 C

7 C++

8 C#
