Website creation what to start with

Hi, I want to creat a website and include sql server which I have downloaded - would I be better off to start learning Ruby - I have seen a site similar to what I want to creat and have been told that it uses sql server - for your info the site is -Angloinfo.com - I like the set up for the business i have in mind but before I waste my time learning the wrong programming It is quicker to ask you lot - so please what's the first code I need to learn before sql server and the best place for a domain name apart from wix.com etc Can I use my computer as a server to get started? I'm not stupid to have high hopes! thank for your replies.
