hi guys
im 28 years old and i want to become a web developer.
what should i learn?
i realy need your advice.
thank you for your time.

well, you'll need HTML/XHTML/XML/XSLT/CSS/JavaScript and some server-side scripting language, preferably more than one. Some of these are PHP, Java (in the form of JSP most often these days), C#,and a host of others.

1. Go to http://www.the-web-book.com/, download the e-book and read it.
2. Go to http://w3schools.com/ and dive into the tutorials there.

Good luck,

Pleas can somone answer my questions?

Certification is not necessary. W3schools is good, but with all programming, experience is the most vital, in a few regards. Firstly, it's only with practice that you will become good, especially if you've never programmed before. Secondly, a portfolio is as good as if not better than most certs as far as convincing clients goes.

OK, step one: go to the website above, W3 schools.com and learn HTML. That's the first step.
