Answer 1

No problem at all Ahmed. After you learn JavaScript, I would recommend learning jQuery also. It makes JavaScript insanely easier to use, although I still recommend learning vanilla JavaScript first so you understand what's going on.

Also, if you download something like WebMatrix 3 (free), it provides you with a nice IDE for writing your code. As well, it also sets up a localhost server and database that you can use to create/test your website from your computer prior to uploading it to a server.

Hope that helps. Best of luck to you Ahmed!

Answer 2

Exactly 97 hours, 23 minutes, and 45 seconds. :)

I'm only joking. That isn't a question that has a real answer; it solely depends upon you and how willing you are to learn it. If you dedicate all of your time toward it, then you'll be able to accomplish your task fairly quick. If not, then it takes longer. HTML and CSS are relatively easy languages, so you could read through them in an afternoon easily and begin making a website today. JavaScript is a real programming language, so it'll take a bit longer to master than the other two. However, you'll have a website up and running already while you're learning JavaScript.

So again, it all depends upon you. You can learn basic web design and get a webpage going in one day if you wanted to. However, it takes much longer to actually master web design and the various languages associated with it. I recommend that you also learn PHP (or ASP) and SQL (or MySQL).
