PHP is good to learn. It has a lot of useful in creating interactive sites. You would need to learn some SQL as well. Getting a good hold of HTML and CSS would be good as well.

I would recommend you PHP. It is easy once you get a hang of it. Also, check w3schools. They provide beginner, intermediate and advance tutorial. I learned my PHP from them. Also, once you knows the basic, google for open-sources PHP project.

That is how I learn my PHP.

I'm learning HTML5 and CSS...

Probably not what you are looking for though.

Out of the mentioned above, I recommend Python

So what should I learn to code first?
I would do mostly website applications.

My options are PHP, Ruby, JavaScript and Python.
Feel free to offer other as well, but best of these too.

I say if you want to find a job with no prob - Python or PHP.
But I would choose Python - it is quite new and very impressive.

IMO Python is a language of the future coding.

PHP is an oldie ...

Most people would tell you that python is a powerful language and good to start with, but to me php is the best. Can be friendly at start, and super usefull once an expert.

Python is very easy if you are on a unix/linux or mac machine. However, the indention is extremely strict.. and depdning on version 2 or version 3, your program may stop to work. Nevertheless, its very quick to make something in Python - much faster than say Java or Perl. 

If you are on a windows machine or want to run a  website, I suggest to start with PHP

These are all good languages for starters. The first three are serve-side languages,  Javascript is really something different - its client side. Ruby syntax is pain in the ***, you want PHP or Python. PHP is most widely used (which means you can copy a lot of code + large community) http://langpop.com/  Smiley

If you want to put a basic webserver on the web for fun, you could use these tools
http://www.wampserver.com/en/ - makes your computer a server
https://ngrok.com/ allows access from internet into your computer

Learn JavaScript first.

You can use JavaScript to create apps which run in a browser

on a server, with node.js

or both

JavaScript is what brings HTML5 apps to life, so it isn't going anywhere.

And now, with famo.us - JS developers can create cross-platform apps which look and feel like native applications.

I know all the languages you mentioned in your post, and JavaScript is by far the most flexible of them all.

You can learn it while having fun at http://www.codewars.com


Wow, thanks that helps a lot! Smiley



Glad I could be of assistance. Good luck on your journey to programming mastery!

For website applications probably javascript and  PHP. But acutally all of them are usefull but also HTML and c++ is really useful too. If you know HTML, C++, javascript , php a really good website.

I think C+ Ruby and Javascript are good to learn from what I've read online about what a novice should start learning.  Good luck.
C and C++ is always suggested if you are just starting to  learn coding but as the OP mentioned he wants to explore the web development and I won't recommend C and C++ only for that purpose although it might work perfectly if used with  some server side coding language.

I'd say PHP.
If you want dynamic websites and server integration it's your best shot IMO.

Okay, I'm using this site now http://www.codecademy.com/tracks/php
But I have heard it tells only basics so where should I go after that? Any suggestions?
I'd recommend you borrow a book or something like that from the library. Usually they have a computer section with "how to code" types of books.
