If you really want to hit it off as a web-developer, then either go the Wordpress route, learn how it works, how to create your own addons and themes, and you are set for the lower end customers. If you want to create your own systems and aim for larger projects/customers, then learn c# and angular. It really depends on your end goal. For the first part, a low end editor like Notepad++ is more than sufficient, for the c#/angular route, I'd suggest Visual Studio Code.

I hope you are not going to school to study web dev.. Its a waste of time and you can easily learn it yourself in a matter of months.

Start with laravel you can build anything with this. Loads of tutorials available and it in my opinion, the best thing to learn off when doing web dev.

Feel free to message me if you got questions.

HTML is the barebones minimum you need just so you know how formatting works. CSS is for the rest of styling and supplementing the HTML formatting to make it look pretty. JS is pretty versatile in the sense that it's generally used for client-side calculations or animations, just to add that extra bit of flair, but it's starting to get used for backend work with Node.

PHP is the most widely used backend for web development in the world. Node is following shortly after. Then, I think R/R and Python. Don't quote me on that, since I don't know how much Django has grown since (a python framework for web development.)

MySQL, MongoDB and MariaDB are the big database management systems.

It only starts to get interesting once you realize that the barebones you used earlier can be parsed as a giant multidimensional array later on. But don't concern yourself with that yet.

This should give you a quick list of technologies you'll need to know. Whether you want to do backend or frontend, you'll need to figure that out yourself, so take a peak, do some reading, do your research, and find out what truly interests you.

I wouldnt call XAMPP a IDE.
Its a WAMP stack.

PHPStorm is a IDE or NetBeans.

But then again, there are quite a few other languages out there that can be used for web development, such as Java (possibly with spring), Python and quite a few others.

It really depends on your usecase and what you want to dowith it.

If its just a simple HTML Website you want:
Notepad++ / Sublime / Visual Studio code is a good start

If you want to get a bit fancier and develop a single-page-application with javascript/html/css you could look into WebStorm

Then there is also the choice of a serverside language:
  • PHP is easy to learn, runs pretty much everywhere and has a decent performance (Just make sure to follow security best practices and dont reinvent the wheel.)
  • Java is interesting. Hosting is going to be a challenge. There arnt a lot of webhosts where you can run a java web app. The barrier to lean it is quite a bit higher than with php. But once you get the hang of it, you can do a lot of things with it. Quite a few web applications used in enterprises are written in java.
  • Then there is also Python. Yes, web apps arnt the usual usecase for python. But you can get the job done. If you want to. The difficulty level is comparable to PHP. But again, hosting is going to be a challange.
Edit: what I forgot to mention: Jetbrains offers free licenses for students / open source projects (which is great if you want to get a good IDE for free)

I suggest you to start learning the basics....
HTML....
So, go to a programing language....
How about PHP? It's the most used actually....

You could use Visual Studio Code, Sublime, Atom, or even notepad++ as IDE..
For the basics, you need to learn about HTML, CSS and Javascript... Then you can start using some frameworks and then comes fun!

Yeah I'll second VS Code for your editor. Best out there imo
