My question is, to be a good web designer what do I need to teach myself. The list of things I want to teach myself at the moment is:
xHTML
CSS
Javascript
other things I've heard about and I think I might need to know are:
Java
C (or C++, or whatever it is)
CGI
I don't really know much at all, so If you could explain what things I need to learn and why.
I want to be able to design semi-professional web pages by the end of the year, but I would also like advice on where to go after that. Which order should I teach myself in etc.
All help appreciated. I know this sounds a bit confused, but thats because I don't really know what I'm doing, which is why I'm asking for help.
Thanks

Yeas. For xHTML and CSS to work correctly it needs to refer to the DTD and the xmlns. xHTML doesn't work properly without the xmlns declaration. So yeah, it's needed, and no, I didn't do it to look clever, i did it as it needs it to work and validate properly. xHTML carries the same coding conventions as XML, it has to be well formed, correct syntax and validated against a DTD.
