OK, well not quite a n00b but I feel like it with websites.

I am a professional software developer who usually works with .NET and Oracle so I know how to code, but at work I stay well away from any web stuff.
I did do the odd web page back in the 90s when frames and tables were still the in thing but from what I gather that's a bit old hat now ;)

Anyway, I've decided that I want to create an online gallery as a project and want to know where to start!
I'm either going to do it with MySQL/PHP or SQL Server/ASP.NET - probably leaning towards the PHP route as this will let me learn more given that I can code in VB.NET/C# already!

So, what I actually want to know is...
  • What is a good package to use to design/code the actual web site?
  • Where can I learn about XHTML/CSS whatever else people use to do websites now?
  • Where can I learn about PHP if I want to use this in my site?
  • Anything else you guys think might be useful.
 
Cheers guys, looks to be the sort of stuff I'm after.
I think I would prefer to do it with a text editor - at least to start with - just to get an idea of what stuff does what exactly.

Looking at the CSS it seems fairly similar to XSL-FO which I've done a bit of at work so hopefully will be able to pick it all up pretty quickly.
