I have some very simple websites that I would like to build. Some would be 2-5 custom pages. I am self taught on web marketing but I’d really like to build my own sites. Also, I know there are simple hosting sites that are free or close to it and any suggestions on that would be great as well. I would like to be able to put adsense on some and I’d like to be able to capture opt-in email addresses on others.
Thanks a lot for the advice. I knew I needed HTML and CSS but wasn’t sure about the others. Thank you for the recommendations.
Where should I get started other than the w3schools.com?
If you want static sites (the page always looks the same), learn HTML and CSS.
If you want pages that do things (look up things in a database, show RSS feeds, send email), then in addition to HTML and CSS, learn computer programming. Then learn PHP, SQL and Javascript.
Java allows you to play online games, chat with people around the world, calculate your mortgage interest, and view images in 3D, just to name a few. It’s also integral to the intranet applications and other e-business solutions that are the foundation of corporate computing.

It is all free.
Then you can go to w3schools.com and learn a server side script, I recommend PHP and with this, learn MySql. Javascript should also be on your list. I will list them in order of priority.
