HTML or Flash is the best for web developers.

Considering that all websites are written in HTML or Flash, but mainly both.

Visual Web Developer is the best thing to learn on.

play around with flash though. It will make any website look very awesome.

If you are suggested to Java don’t take it. Java is useless and unless you have lots of experience java just looks bad and unprofessional.

    Japanese, Spanish or French. Mostly because the people you will have to work with in your job will speak these languages. if i were you, i would focus on Japanese first, then work on Spanish, then if you would like french.

    HTML is a must :)
    Then I’d say go for PHP or ASP.
    Flash is usefull too.
