Programming/Design: What to learn first?

The following is a list of courses that I can take to help me learn basic functions of web design, database design and building servers. Is there a better order to take them in?





Web design and Graphics


Object oriented analysis and design


Dynamic HTML


TCP/IP


XML


Java


AJAX


Visual Basic C


C


PERL/CGI


IIS 6


Windows Server


PHP and MYSQL


SQL


Oracle





TY!

Programming/Design: What to learn first?
I'd go with Dynamic HTML (webpage design), then php %26amp; mysql this will cover some database design stuff that can be implemented within your webpages.


You will want SQL as well if your working with databases.


For building servers, Windows Server, IIS6. Skip the TCP/IP, this is networking protocols. Perl and CGI may be useful for web server programming also.
Reply:If you want to be sucessful in web based programming, I suggest taking dynamic html, php and mysql, and web design and graphics first. Then I recommend going into object oriented analysis (though, this ties in directly to php, so it's your call) and java. XML will help you with making your designs for your websites easier and nicer. Everything else is addon stuff (with the exception of oracle, which you might need if you plan on doing stuff specifically for that). TCP/IP is more hardware oriented.
