Thanks for the summary of the current Web Development environment :). I will of start by learning all the languages, then maybe I will focus on one area (design, frontend or backend). I really don't know which one I'd chose yet.
Wordpress looks very interesting indeed. Especially to people with low programming knowledge I guess. I'll see if I can eventually build something from scratch, otherwise I'll look into WordPress.
Wordpress also has different areas to focus on. There are frontend templates, plug-ins and the admin. The admin part isn't programming so much as being able to work with a template and make it do what you want. Once you get the hang of it, you can build a wordpress site really fast by buying a template for under $50 , customizing it and you can typically bill between $300 and $500 for it.
