Hello,

I am a complete noob when it comes to computer languages and computer manipulation. My main goal is to attain the ability to create websites that are not simple pure html and then be able to program and/or interact with important computer files with confidence.

I have been told to start learning Dreamweaver and InDesign. But then, a computer savvy friend of mine told me to learn “HTML + CSS + Javascript +Django” and also mentioned something about “Python.” And yet another friend said that Ruby on Rails is the way to go.

As you may think, I’m still completely confused as to what is the best thing to do is.

What should I start with, is truly the question.
 
Start with HTML http://htmldog.com/

CSS is practically useless by itself as it's a styling language. Wish you luck!
 
HTML and CSS, then JavaScript and PHP/mySQL.

I'd say start with PHP instead of python. There is way more useful information for noobs on the net for it.
 
You should start with HTML

HTML is the language that you use to add content (paragraphs, tables, headers, horizontal bars, images, etc.)

CSS is the language that you should use to stylize that content (give the width of a table, choose colors, background color, background image, etc.)

You should start with HTML and then learn CSS.

All other languages build off of HTML. Every single website in one way or another eventually uses HTML. There is not a single website that doesn't use html. w3schools.com is a good starting place and will lead you in the right direction.
