Hi guys,

I want become a webmaster, I can learn things on my own just need to find out what to study. I searched the web and found out the best way is to start with HTML, then CSS, the Java and so on but my husband said someone told him Joomla is the future and only old age webmasters use the other things, he told to just get a joomla book and study no need to HTML or CSS... What do you guys think about it? If Joomla is so good, why some people still learn the old way? thanks
also, I have a website in mind that I believe will make me good money, I will need to have a page that people can log in and a database to hold it plus the users will be able to contact each other on their page. Can Joomla do this?
 
Your husband is hugely misinformed. Joomla is a CMS and it's very limited to what it can do. There is no way a professional would use Joomla.

Learn HTML and CSS first, from a book or a website.
Java is something completely different- it's for building applications for use on the web that you generally can't manage to do with HTML and JavaScript.

To use databases, progress from HTML to PHP and SQL.
