Hi guys,

So I was thinking of changing my default programming language to something web based, as it seems to be the most versatile and useful career opportunity I could pursue at this point. From what I’ve seen, a knowledge of HTML, CSS and maybe PHP and Javascript would be the most useful things to know in this regard.

I have a few questions which I’m sure some of you web developers here could answer if you have a chance:

HTML4 or HTML5? A tutorial site (I’m thinking w3schools at the moment)?

Also, my main question would be as to what development tool. I’d be mainly interested in something which can do most of what I’d need in terms of running it without me needing to constantly re-open the document, and could integrate fairly well with the language (such as, maybe, highlighting of keywords of the language?)

Thanks in advance
