Mabuhay!
I’m really lovin’ this web deseign/development thing. I think I can code html/css now, though not that GOOD yet.
Now I would like to learn javaScript, jQuery, PHP,etc.
What should I learn first?
Don’t learn any of them until you are *really good* at HTML and CSS.
Seems I’ve [heard this question before](https://css-tricks.com/forums/discussion/comment/80739).
go for javaScript then PHP
If you feel you’re comfortable enough with HTML and CSS, I would say to look _closely_ at HTML5 and CSS3, then start looking at jQuery.
jQuery is quick and easy to write, there are billions of tutorials and the syntax will set you up well for PHP and writing JavaScript without a framework.
@Chester : I second @joshuanhibbert on the Javascript. If you jump straight into jQuery, you will be limited. Yes, it is easy and quick to learn but in the long run you will be selling yourself short.
Hmmm, this thread has kinda made me rethink learning jQuery as i rarely know JS yet at all…
Thanks @joshuanhibbert
Well I was having a little play around with jQuery yesterday and managed to do this:

Obviously the functions are low-level stuff but I didn’t even know the syntax a few days ago, so maybe that shows I might pick up JavaScript easy-ish? Lol.
I’ve gone into job interviews where knowing jQuery better than vanilla JS hurt your chances. The logic being that if you understand JavaScript, you will be able to truly understand jQuery and use it to its fullest.
