HTML/XHTML are the same thing only XHTML is a bit more strict. They are very easy to learn and really can be done in a couple of days. I taught my wife most of the basics in a couple hours.
CSS becomes a little more complicated because it has a completely different structure than any of the other examples you mentioned. And using CSS effectively is something that really comes with practice. There are a lot of quirks between different browsers that you need to figure out along the way and the proper use of positioning is an art form that takes some time to master. I'd say it only takes a few months to learn.
JavaScript is the first real language that you mentioned. As they go it's pretty easy, but can become quite a hassle. It's used mostly for manipulating a web page that has already been loaded. Either by changing colours, content, or form fields. It can be a valuable tool when you look deeper to realize it's potential. It will take you a couple of months to really be able to write it confidently.
PHP is the first real useful language. You can use it to create rich web apps. It can take about a year to be masterful at but afterwards you'll be able to do almost anything you want with it.
ASP is more of a term to describe the microsoft way of doing things. You still need to learn C# or VB in order to create an ASP page. If you learn C# you're in for a lot of learning. It works completely different than PHP where PHP executes from top down, C# is object based and the code can jump all over the place. The good thing about C# is that once you know it you can create powerful desktop applications as well. VB is the easier of the two languages and can also be used for desktop apps but isn't a strong as C#. They can take you about a year to learn as well.
The good news about all of this is that you can l earn all of these simultaneously because you need to use most of them together. XHTML and CSS are essential for each other to work. Javascript and PHP work together to create AJAX. PHP ultimately output XHTML, CSS, and Javascript, as does ASP. So in a year and a half you could very easily learn all of these. You won't be a master at any of them, that will take a few years of practice, but you'd be alright.How long will it take to learn: html,xhtml, css, javascript, flash, asp, and php?
Well, that depends on your ability to learn logic. I suggest that you learn in the order mentioned, I believe you can achieve what you ask at that time. I suggest that you read first, practice what you read in the examples given, and then create the application. Do not create the application while studying. Instead of learning ASP I suggest that you study PHP first, and then if you want ASP.
I have been taking classes at Kaplan University for over a year now and I have learned HMTL, XHTML, SQL, VB.NET and various other languages. There are many routes that you can take to achive these languages. I am using this route to achieve my Bachelors in IT with a focus on Web and Game Design. I still have 1.5 yeas to go. This is the best route for me, but may not be for you. Below, is the site if you want to check out more information about this college. My classes are taken online, which give me the freedom that I need as opposed to on-campus classes.
You can start learning those languages by going to a website called www.w3schools.com or you can google w3schools........It's the best place for learning all the languages related to the Internet........hope it helps...........
