If I were in your shoes, I would concentrate on javascript. Any web development job you try to get will expect you to know javascript, and it's not going away anytime soon. Once you learn it, you can use it as a springboard for learning other languages. Do these things 1. Figure out had to add javascript code to a static html page. Implement functionality like showing/hiding content, simple animations, etc. 2. Figure out how to add jquery to a static html page. Jquery is incredibly popular javascript library that makes changing content on a web page much easier. 3. Learn how to run simple javascript scripts from the console using node.js. You don't have to have a website to run javascript. 4. Go to project euler, and write javascript programs to solve the problems there. Run your programs with node.js. You're going to have to learn about if statements, while loops, and for loops to solve these problems. It will force you to learn javascript. 5. Figure out how to use node.js as a server. Make a simple application that interacts with a server, for example a chat room application. 6. Put your code on github and deploy it on heroku for free. You now have built and deployed your own website. I think that looks pretty damn good. Disclaimer: I have been a web developer for 3 years. I got my first job with a minor in Computer Science, so I never actually did what you're trying to do.
