I've just started learning html/css and feel relatively comfortable with the basic concepts - so now I'm looking to try and study another discipline related to webdesign. (I need loads more time to be confident with html/css - but I can get by).
Flash is the most attractive candidate - since being an artist it suits my brainpan (and using art software for years it's pretty intuitive) - but I'm also interested in php for the functionality it would enable me to add to client sites, and also javascript. Of the two latter languages, I'm more inclined to study php for it's practical application in e-commerce -but it's not that pleasant to set up....
Any recommendations which would be better to study?
