    Hi, Not sure if this is the right place but here goes,

    I currently monitor/admin our company wordpress site, this was setup by an outside company so I am just adding content.

    I want to be able to understand and do more with the site and to learn how to build sites from scratch. I want to learn programming for web development but also for software/database creation. I am looking for advise on what courses/progamming language I should do to get me started as I am a complete novice, should I learn C++ and then move on to JAVA, SQL etc.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated and apologies for being vague.

    Thanks

    In that case look at PHP and MySQL in general. Look at some tutorials and primers and then move on to looking at customising Wordpress themes and plugin development.

    Some starting points:
    http://www.php.net/manual/en/getting-started.php
    http://devzone.zend.com/6/php-101-php-for-the-absolute-beginner/

    Just be careful with some tutorials and sample codes - there are some bad examples out there. Make sure you read up on securing your PHP code.
