I'm just starting to learn web development and I've been wondering If I can build solid websites using only HTML, CSS and maybe some PHP.
I don't want anything complicated I wanna start simple just to get used to those languages before starting to learn JS because I feel it's a bit more complicated and I'm not good with programming languages.
I wanna be able to create something like this: http://enactus.org/
I can't comment so i'll post as an answer. So please no down voting.
You can create a website but that site won't be an interactive website. What I mean is that the site will not be able to get data from users and save it in databases (well you can if you wan't to use some php but php is also more on the math, logic and stuffs that you would typically use on javascript.), or buttons that would do stuffs without refreshing the website... So to summarize it if you want to learn website designing first HTML and CSS is a way to go and also can be a great start for beginners like us. And if you want your site to be interactive start learning Javascript and PHP.

So, I want to make a multiplayer game like "slither.io" or any io games but I am lacking the knowledge and the resource. So far I know that you need a server which its going to run on, some javascript knowlege, and the data which stores the information of the player. However, I honestly dont know where to start I want the game to have animation and responsive. I just want the information in order to make my idea into reality.
I've referred several people to Khan academy (a free resource) with great success. A great interactive course for learning front end development basics. If I were you, this is what I would start with.
HTML and CSS
Intro to JavaScript
They have more courses on jQuery and Javascript too that you should go through.
After that, you'll want to learn a server-side language like PHP or Node.js. And to make a realtime multiplayer game you will need to use something like websockets. Make sure to put into practice what you learn along the way, as programming is a skill.

I've been in the process of making a career change towards front-end development. I've taken several beginning HTML, CSS, and JavaScript courses but am feeling stuck.
I'm not sure where to take all these skills and apply them. I've thought of creating an app for practice, but don't understand the back-end of things. Does anyone have any recommendations for someone who has taken front end dev courses and is looking to advance to the next level (where ever that may be)?
Hopefully this makes sense and others have been or are in a similar circumstance. Thanks!

I would say a great way to learn new stuff is to watch video courses. I've learned a lot from sites like http://www.lynda.com/ and http://tutsplus.com/ since there are courses for everyone - beginners to experts.
I would say, try to get the basics about a CMS like Wordpress, and start developing themes to try out your front-end skills.
If you are interested in some PHP development, I'd recommend to read about it and try out some PHP frameworks that will get you started.

I want to create an HTML file which pulls information from one of several possible databases.
The database will consist of students names and target grades and there will be one for each class.
The page created will effectively have a block/button for each student with a drop down box which contains a grade.
I would like to send this data to another database (one for each class) to track progress over time, effectively when submitting the classes grades I want to add a coloumn to the database
I have been learning programming for the last 12 months and have a reasonable understanding of HTML, JavaScript, Python (I have also just started leanring some jquery) . I dont want a full fledged solution but if someone could point me in the right direction I would be happy to do the hard work.
Primary question is what language do I need to learn to code read and write to the database? Any other suggestions about scripting are more than welcome.
I would use PHP and Javascript (jQuery is a easy to use framework). PHP can handle the "backend" operations like reading and writing to the database. HTML / CSS / Javascript can handle the view.
If you want to do all of this without the annoying page refreshes you can take a look at AJAX.

I want to get the dates booked and price from the the airbnb page: https://www.airbnb.com.sg/rooms/2781352 under the "Calendar" tab of it.
I am quite newbie to this, and I want to python to do that, can I?
And what else should learn, javascript, PHP?
For extracting data from web pages, my first stop is Beautifulsoup. It is designed for just this purpose, and is excellent at it. Combine it with the great requests HTTP library (so much better and easier than urllib/urllib2/etc.) for getting the pages.
Both of these are Python modules, there is no need to learn any other programming languages to do it, although it greatly helps to have an understanding of HTML and DTDs (Document Type Definitions) for setting up paths.

So if i excel at javascript than learning what other libraries, languages, framework, business related things would help me improve as a developer and get hired.
I know just knowing js isn't enough and that developer must know some basic stuff like
jquery, css3, html5, etc.
But what else.
I rarely see a job in which it says you need to know javascript there are always a lot of something else.
Well this is not the perfect place to ask this question but to help you I would like to suggest you some options.
If you are aiming to become a full-time front-end developer then along with the Javascript you must have excellent knowledge of HTML5, CSS3 and JQuery.
Also you must start practicing at least two of the following JavaScript frameworks:
Angular JS,
Node JS,
Grunt,
Dojo,
MooTools.
It would be good to have knowledge of SASS & COMPASS as well.
A good knowledge of Photoshop or Illustrator is also required.
Rest you can research yourself and choose as per your choice.
Best of luck!!
