I have learnt some web languages and I would like to know which ones I should go for next, I have learnt:
html (advanced)
xhtml (advanced)
javascript (basic)
xml (basic)
php (learning intermediate)
css (learning intermediate)
SQL (basic)
APR (N/A)
c++ (basic)

Should I continue learning them or learn basic ASP as well?

It wont be too much trouble to learn a bit of ASP.net. We did some in college and I found it pretty easy to pick up.

I'd say you should move forward in all of what you've learnt so far, move from basic to intermediate by setting yourself projects like news systems or scripts that crawl the GE and Highscores etc. (especially using PHP, because it's awesome smile.gif).

Regular expressions (Regex) are a good think to learn about.

MySQL (I think that's what it's called, or whatever. The one used mainly for databases) could probably be a good one to learn. Other than that, I'd just work on memorising all the languages you've learnt so far.

Oh I forgot about SQL, I am ok at SQL, quite handy actually.

Definitely MySQL, and go advanced in PHP and Javascript and perhaps a tad more CSS than just basic (although CSS is quite basic on its own, it's still very interesting to continue to learn it a bit).

I'm not sure if MySQL and SQL are the same thing...

MySQL is a database service, SQL is a programming language nearly universal to all databases. There is a little variation between databases and the way they interpret SQL, but not a whole lot.

Although there's the Microsoft SQL Server, a database service, that could be called SQL for short if you wanted to...but that's just picking at details.

And, yeah, go advanced with PHP at least. It's useful. JavaScript is definitely something worth looking into farther as well, but I would learn more PHP first.

Right now I am looking into php, sql and css, css is quite interesting really, sql is really hard and complicated but I suppose php is ok.
