I just had a really quick question. After finishing HTML, XHTML, and CSS where should I go next? PHP or Javascript? Seems most people say PHP due to learning structure, but I didn't know if it might be easier to head right into Javascript. Thanks!

I don't think it really matters. Have you done any programming or scripting? They're just more of the same. They obviously have their own unique characteristics, but if you know how to write a for-loop in one, the other's not going to blow your mind. I went on to Javascript at that point because it seemed like a natural flow to do the client-side stuff first.

Get that when you want to get into PHP/MySQL. Fantastic resource. -

I would also ask if you have any programming experience. I had experience with Java, C, and Python when I decided to pick up PHP. The syntax was similar in style and once you know a programming language fairly well picking up another isn't too hard. Only took my about a week to learn the basics of PHP and then did a cram session over a weekend and built a full web portal for a final project. It wasn't too hard.
