It depends entirely on what you want to make?

HTML, then CSS, then PHP is better. Also do JS before or after PHP.

Choose ONE language and stick with it, the only reason to switch is if like a job requires you to use that language or school. I say C# because it helps with other languages such as PHP, which is helpful in making logins and whatnot.

If you honestly think on;y 1 language should be known then you're a terrible programmer. You should at least have a good grasp of a range of languages since different languages solve different problems. For example, knowing just C++ is useless if you ever want to make a website to show your work.

You really only need a language for making programs, and then php. Enless you make websites there is no need to know HTML or CSS, and why learn VB or C++ if you know C#. The only reason I can think of, like I said before, is if you work for a company or are going to school and they require you to know languages that allow more complex programs to be made like video editing software or something. Then you'd need to know C++ or Java. But for making tools such as modding programs or even something more complex like a iPod file viewer (or something idk) you only need one language. However if your doing Web Development then, yes you would need to know more than one language, HTML, PHP, CSS because a singe website would require that. I only make programs with C#, and that has suited me well for the past almost year now. My friend and I make programs together and the only other language we ever needed was PHP, and that was for logins and storing files. But not alot of programs need a login or a file storage system, or anything else to do with PHP. My point is, almost anything you could possibly need to make can be done in ONE language. This doesn't mean all you need to know is that language, you must have knowledge on how computers work, like how files are stored and whatnot but thats not another language. Idk, just my thoughts.

Edit: You also said if you want to make a website to show your work you need to know web development, not really. There are plenty of ways to make a website without know web development. For forums there is phpBB, ipBoard and many others. Plus not that many people code their own websites, they usually use a pre-made one and edit it through the designer that the company who made the template or website provides. And if the point of the site is to show off your program you made, then why go through the trouble of coding your own when you can spend your time in further developing the program you are trying to show off.
