    This one isn't bad for HTML/HTML5: http://w3schools.com/
    I want to learn C++ too, but I'm not sure where to start...

    For HTML / JavaScript etc i'd recommend NetTuts (http://net.tutsplus.com/) it has quite a broad scope of web based languages.

    For C++ i did a quick google search and http://www.learncpp.com/ came top. After having a quick look it seems like it covers most of the basics (i don't know C++ either)

    As for Java, i hear its a derivative of C, as is C++ so if you learn one i'm pretty sure you'd have quite a good grasp on the other.

    Don't quote me on it

    If you're just starting HTML w3schools isn't the worst thing you could look at, but it does teach some pretty awful practices. Google have some fairly good tutorials on HTML, CSS and javascript here.

    I think I'll finish C++ first before trying to learn Java.

    A great place to start is Sitepoint. There are forums etc that can help you there, and also they sell books and all that sort of stuff. Codeacademy^^. Lilmzbest is right aswell, its like a step by step process, which is very useful. And probably doesn't take a year.
