I am going out on a limb. I am a computer hardware guy and this is my first time diving into the coding part of a computer, but I have an idea that I just cannot pass up. I need as much information as anyone can spare on what I need to know if I were to make a website similar to MySpace, or eBay. A website that involves making profiles and such. I am in the midst of learning all there is to know about HTML (and being thankful I am a quick learner, already made a website with pretty colors and a bunch of text after just 10 minutes of HTML reading Smile....sorry I'm a dork). Any help is deeply appreciated, thank you very much.

You need to know (x)html and CSS to make static web sites.

If you want to make it dynamic you need to learn PHP and MySQL (there are other options like ASP but these are the best). I'm learning php from a book "PHP and MySQL Web development" written by Luke Welling and Laura Thomson which I downloaded via torrent network. You also have a lot of web tutorials.

You are not a dork, html is very easy to learn Cool

Yes as nighthawl said you will have to know php and mqsql. I used 'php and mysql for dynamic websites'. They have a companion website that has a zip of all the scripts that are used in the book. The book covers the very basics up to how to make a site that has user accounts and profiles.
