At the minute i'm on css as ive done xhtml,but i'm a bit confused to which programming language i should learn after ive done javascript, i was first looking into php,then i was looking into perl, but as visual basic is the easiest language to learn,as well as powerful is it possible i could learn VB instead of php/perl for web development for databases ect...........
 
What languages you learn to use should be a matter of which ones interest you. If you don't like the work you do, you won't be successful at it.

That said, I generally recommend new programmers learn PHP / MySQL, then ASP.NET, as PHP is easier to grasp, has more peer support and is more forgiving of errors.

It's nice to be learning all these programming languages - are you doing anything with it? Take a look around and see what kind of work you want to do - that might help you decide which language(s) to focus on. If you're going to be doing primarily web site design, focus on the css, javascript and php. A little perl comes in handy at times, but those others are used on the majority of sites.
