Someone asked me a question today and I really couldn't answer it. My formal education is in business management and marketing...not design or development. Those are things I got into to progress my career when I was in the corporate world. I am self taught and I took odd routes to get to where I am so this question baffled me.

I want to start developing really cool interactive websites, where should I start? And in what order should I learn them?

I started to say basic HTML but now with DIV layouts and CSS, old HTML markup is becoming antiquated. Of course you'd have to understand the basic tags and so forth. There's so much that encompasses it all such as understanding the DOM that really isn't "learning" a new technology but rather understanding out it's rendered. Would you use jQuery instead of Flash? Is Actionscript better than Javascript? And so on and so on.....

Can anyone answer this question?
