My ideal career choice is to be a web developer - creating web sites with powerful functionality.

So far I've learnt:

Front-End
xhtml, css, javascript

General
SQL, C, C++, and Java

Back-End
php ( just started learning )

Applications
Dreamweaver, mySQL, Visual Studio, Eclipse, Borland, Apache


What language/application do you think I should learn next and why?

As already has a solid base, the replies from and about polishing interaction and server logic are on target, and and correctly point out that platform knowledge and richer UIs matter. The next best moves are not another language, but the tools and practices that let you build, ship, and maintain features safely and quickly.

Focus first on version control and collaboration, HTTP and API design, and core security practices. The Pro Git book is an excellent, practical reference for source control (Pro Git). Learn request/response basics and how to design stable APIs (see MDN on HTTP: MDN Web Docs — HTTP). Study common web risks and mitigations via the OWASP Top Ten (OWASP Top Ten). Add automated tests and a simple continuous integration step so changes are verified before they reach users.

Put it into practice with a small end-to-end feature. Use source control, write one or two automated checks, and sketch an API contract. Example starter workflow:

git init
git add .
git commit -m "initial"
git checkout -b feature/your-feature
# implement, test, commit, then push to a remote

Prioritize Git + API design + basic security first for long-term growth. If faster delivery is the goal, learning a single mature platform’s architecture (templating, extensions) will speed things up—study its internals rather than only using defaults.
