They're all helpful, and completely different.

The first language you should learn, no matter what, is HTML, or its slight varient XHTML. After you've grasped the basic concepts of that, I suggest learning CSS, which is mainly used for designing. But its helpful like everything else. Now, after that, if you're going to be coding for ProBoards, learn JavaScript, probably by tutorials other PB members have written. If you aren't coding for PB, then its your choice of PHP or JS, or even Perl. Perl and PHP can accomplish the same things, but most people use PHP now. As for JavaScript, that's your choice and I recommend learning it before PHP.

Learn in this order:

1. Basic-Advanced HTML/XHTML
2. Basic-Intermediate/Advanced Javascript
3. Basic-Intermediate/Advanced XML
4. Basic-Intermediate/Advanced PHP
5. Basic-Intermediate/Advanced Basic
6. Basic-Intermediate/Advanced Visual Basic
7. Basic-Intermediate/Advanced Dark Basic

Where you can learn some of these languages:
HTMLite
Spoono (Teaches HTML/XHTML, JS, PHP, XML)
Brainjar (DOM Reference)
Solid Snake Designs

5-7 are just cool languages but, you need a very expensive program to use those languages.

Just learn 1-4 and you'll be set.

Thanks, what good sites can you find tutorials on? I know pixel2life has some...

I posted some.

I taught myself almost all of my knowledge of HTML and CSS, and about half of JS, so I can't really help you.

sorry, i didn't read your post! Thanks!
Can you insert html into proboards?

Yes and javascript
