Creating a to-do list

This website should save the lists that users create, so they will be accessable at any time. I am a newbie in web-development, so what languages must I learn to be able to create what I want? I heard about programming languages that are used to create databases, so what do I need?

That's fine. Any back end language will do. The PHP course here is well structured, relatively speaking.
