1. What do you mean by fast, 2 days, 1 week, 3 months, 6 months, a years, what ? Just make it clear. Anyway, theres not shortcut in learning. You'll have to sharpen your skills. If you are willing to setup your own website then you even don't have to learn anything besides get to learn some CMS softwares (Content Mangement Softwares like Joomla, Wordpress, Drupal etc). But if you are really interested then you'll have to learn the following topics Basics and Fundamental Topics 1. HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) 2. CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) 3. Adobe Dreamweaver (Optional) Intermediate 3. Server Side Scripting (PHP, JSP, Ruby on Rails, Python, ASP etc) 4. Client Side Scripting (Javascripting, VB Scripting etc) Advanced 5. SOAP 6. Database Handling 7. PHP Frameworks, Java Frameworks, ASP Frameworks etc. And the list goes on, Its very hard to get everything under one roof. I suggest you start with http://www.w3schools.com This website has included many many information, that will get you started in website developement. And I also recomment you watch tons of youtube videos, How Tos, that will give you some idea on conding conventions. Youtube contains huge information, believe me. If you can't find what you are looking for, then suggest me a title, in our website http://www.asee.com.np and I will try to write an article on it.
