Hi I am a young CS major, and have experience in numerous languages. I am looking to get started in building websites and I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction. I am prepared to learn a new language from scratch. I was just wondering which IDE's or programs you used so I could get started.
Are you looking to build sites or web apps?
For all websites you'll need to learn the basics; HTML, CSS, and JS. In terms of development tools, Atom or Brackets work as great editors IMO.

Check out Eclipse. Here is a link to video tutorials about programming https://www.thenewboston.com/videos.php
@Mazen Atom is good, but still lacking in its features compared to sublime text 3.
I would take a look at the Web Developer Toolbox and see what you want. It covers a whole variety of websites and tools used in web development.
Don't rule out .NET (open source) with Visual Studio.

In my day-to-day usage I don't miss any features in Atom. I've never really used Sublime though.
@guineapirate
PLEASE do rule out .Net. Not everything that's opensource should be used. While I can see C# being used to develop Windows apps, etc. I don't think asp.net is a good idea. I've heard about to many security flaws & limitations. And even though you can use asp.net (Or most .Net stuff) using Mono, it's a pain to get it working, correctly.
As for the Topic, a bit more info about what you actually want to do would be great: Just static web pages? Small webapps? Webapps scalable to millions of people?
