JC Web Concepts - Custom Web Developments

I thought I would give an update on what is going on with me learning how to code. My resume has been getting beefed up. So now what I comfortably know how to program in is the following:

• HTML
• CSS
• PHP

I have tried to learn JavaScript but I am not comfortable to put that on the list. I also have messed with Action Script. I am working on getting Ajax on the list. I can do some minor stuff with it but not yet comfortable with putting that on the list.

After Ajax since that is needed to know for work purposes, I was looking to finish doing Java. I have a fellow church member who codes Java for a living and what he has talked about has gotten me excited to learn that. I would like to learn a GUI programming language so I can make cross platform applications. Well as always if you have some tips or tricks for me to help me on my journey I would love to hear them.

Have you ever had to learn multiple programming languages are once? I am not talking about HTML and CSS at the same time. I am talking about lets say PHP and AJAX. Well I have too and let me tell you it is tuff. Now I do have a grasp on PHP where I am in the advance level. But still it is hard. Now I am really not a fan of the JavaScript language. I cannot understand the concept. I have tried and I have read multiple books but I just cannot get JavaScript. Does anyone have any tips for me? Can someone help me with this task? If can thank you very much.
