Learning HTML and PHP should help get you going already

HTML5 is HTML, it is just the one with the latest updates or lines of code that are now supported online. PHP, ASP and JAVA are also popular choices.

Of course html or html5. If you want to engage in database development, also must master SQL.

learn MS Sharepoint, i see that the pay in this job market is really high!

HTML/5 and CSS are really the basic building blocks you'll need in your developer's tooklit. PHP is more or less a necessity these days, too. I recommend some free online resources like Codecademy to get started, and I've found Lynda tutorials immensely useful if a bit dry. You can get a free trial, but it does cost to be a member after that.

I would really suggest using a WordPress site as an experiential playground at first. The ability to put what you're learning into practice and tweak things on a live test blog really sets the learning process into stone.

Best of luck!

Start learning HTML/CSS..

By the way, in the computer world there is no definite platform since everything is subject to "change".
