Thank for the quick response. How long does it take to learn these 3 languages (consider the fact i had 10 years ago CS degree but never used it)?

If you're in it alone, I'd say 3 - 5 years.

  Sorry, didnt get your answer. It may take me up to 5 years? and what do you mean by saying "... in it alone"

    Truthfully it depends. Some people pick up on stuff quickly. Just come up with an idea and start building. I find that the best way to learn. If you get stuck just Google.

      Google is the solution to any problem. Thanks god we have Google.

    Okay, to build something like 42floors you need the following knowledge (guesstimating): - HTML5 - CSS3 - Javascript - basics of image manipulation - some kind of backend language (PHP, Python, Ruby, Node.js,...) - some kind of database engine knowledge (SQL, NoSQL, both?) - user experience planning, testing and execution - extensive server administration - different APIs These are just the technical aspects, now count in the whole business side of things. 3-5 years. Probably more if you want to master all of the above.

      Got the picture. Well, that will not put me down. I have CS degree, I have 14 years experiences in High-Tech industry as a QA and lots of knowledge. My goal is to be a founder of a similar site (technically) like 24floors.com and I need to start somewhere. Thanks tzaman.

Here is what you need to do: 1. Learn HTML/HTML5 - I can't really recommend anything here. I just sort of picked it up. 2. Learn Ruby on Rails - http://ruby.railstutorial.org/ http://ruby.railstutorial.org/. You can probably pick up a lot of HTML and CSS from this tutorial. I spent about 50 hours working through this. You're probably looking at 80 hours or so. 3. Learn JS - http://www.codecademy.com/tracks/javascript http://www.codecademy.com/tracks/javascript Once you've put about 200 hours into the the above, I'd say you're probably capable of building a working website. It won't be pretty, but it will work. Refractor and fix from there.
