I too want to get into game dev. I suggest you learn a lot of the HTML languages like HTML, Javascript, PHP, and then eventually learn Java and C, C++, etc. Also, a friend told me that math is very important in game design. Know your math!

Java script is not Java | True, but they're good intro languages!
...I'd suggest C++, if you can master that, you'll be rich  | |

Programming with web design languages is completely different than doing object oriented programming... I really don't think that learning them would make much of a difference if someone is trying to get into game design. The basics of HTML and the basics of Java, for example, really don't have much in common.

Advanced PHP can be useful for learning programming it includes arrays, loops, classes and inheritance .
Also if you want to make games c++ is what you want but best to learn other languages so you can understand more before jumping right into it.
Also try out darkbasic good for making simple games.

C++ would be the most common language for writing games. Don't even think of those web languages. Best thing, especially if you don't know C++ or programming in general, pick up some books. Course Technology has some excellent programming books that are geared towards game programming.
