I have a good grasp of HTML and a beginners grasp of CSS. I need to develop my languages over the summer. Specifically I might need to have a better grasp of HTML and CSS, completely learn .xml from scratch, maybe perl or python or other such languages. I am going to get a few books and try to learn that way, but I was wondering if an online class might work better? Any tips?

What is the best order to learn them and how long does it take to achieve a intermediate understanding of each?
I’m not currently in an IT field but I am interested in getting trained in the languages that will provide me with the best chance of getting myself in an IT position then feeling my way out from there. So what would be the best languages to learn in this case?

I am a decent programmer, I know

a tad bit of all these languages
Java
C++
Actionscript2.0
HTML
CSS
QBasic
PHP

why should i learn xml?

I was wondering how each of these languages operated and what their purpose was.

I already know HTML. I know flash and understand actionscript, but could not make anything fancy without any tutorials at the moment. I have used XML in my flash slideshow I made once. there are all these other languages, as far as I know, CGI and ASP and PERL do basically the same thing.. so which should I learn.. do i need to know them all… what is PHP? aghh… I need help =( I also want to learn C++. Object oriented whatever that means ( i know u can make games in it). Is flash object oriented too? AGHHH
my school doesnt even teach any programming. Blah. where can I learn it without wastin all my cash. im poor. GAH.

I know both are very important languages and very much in demand, If you had to choose between learning between these which would you learn first.

Thank you.
