So i spent a couple months figuring out how to design a website, out of necessity. I spent a long time messing with dreamweaver and WSIWYG editors, I didnt know anything about HTML or CSS, but i was savvy enough to figure our how to go into the code in notepad here and there to change something small.
Soon i started finding snippets of code that i suspected to be unnecessary, so i'd try deleting them, and realize that they were infact not needed. Then i ditched the WSIWYG editors and found some html/css templates and started messing with them until the template was hardly recognizable.
Then i just ditched the templates, got notepad++ and wrote my own site from scratch (with help from w3schools.com of course)
I've got a fairly decent knowledge of html and css now, and how they work together. Ive also figured out how to use google analytics, and how to implement a few basic jquery plugins, as well as embed fonts in my site.
But i know I'm barely scratching the surface, and i feel a bit out of the loop having a plain old html/css only when i see sites around that i dont even understand how they are working. Probably using php... ive seen some .jsp sites too.
So what should be next on my list to learn? PHP probably? Javascript? What are these used for, and why do i need them if i can pretty much do everything i need with html and css?
