Over the period of time Web applications have become an integral part of our life. Everyday an average person uses many web e applications. It is making life bit easier for a layman and at the same time it is providing opportunities to earn for those who can make web apps.

If you're a beginner in this field then this article is definitely for you. To begin web programming a person should start with the very well known and famous HTML, yes! HTML is the gateway to web programming. You can start learning HTML, In fact to program with HTML you don't really have to get into detail about the language itself, just learn how it works and start implementing. All the webpages you seee have an html associated with them.



HTML is a client side programming language to display the webpage, yeah you guessed right, if there is a client side language then there should be server side programming languages too. The most used client side programming languages for web programming are
  • HTML
  • CSS
  • JAVASCRIPT
  • J QUERY
Some  server side programming languages are

There also exist a language which incorporates javascript and any of server side programming language known as Ajax

Well that was all the info you need regarding the languages you need to learn to start web programming. You do need to learn all client side programming languages to make some awesome designs(yeah client side languages are the ones dealing with design). If you know any one server side language you can do well with web programming :)

You can always go to w3schools.com to learn web programming languages, learn some basic syntax there and then open your favourite websites in your browser and have a look at their source code. You can play with the source code of different websites to learn html, css and javascript. You can open source code of any webpage from any browser, just right click that webpage and click open source code.

To learn php, you will need to install some tools in your pc(e.g., xampp or wamp). You can also get a free website an host your php based website their(it'll be slow if it's free though).
