I would just begin to expand on your back-end skills. Since you have HTML/CSS/JQUERY under your belt. Continue to work on those, and also begin with a database (MySQL works fine), once you learn basic database-ing, then begin working on the controlling logic between the two. I would recommend PHP only because it's a quick language to learn and get busy with. This gives you a solid set of skills and a good view of the process. From there you can begin to enhance what you do with the two.

Nothing needs to be super-advanced, get down and dirty and learn quickly; more advanced work will come with time. As biscarch said 'just start somewhere'.

Yeah, LAMP seems to be the best route to get up and going faster, I think I'll start with that. I need to be learning those DB and process skills to begin with, which makes taking the LAMP approach probably the best option. Thanks.
