Maybe it's just me but I usually end up rewriting everything I write

up with far better code that way than I do by trying to get it right
first time. It also tends to be quicker.

In short, learn by doing. It's served me well.
I made it even shorter, Stut. ;-P
He's exactly right, Matty. It's a form of evolution called
"versioning". No programmer gets everything perfect the first (or
usually even second, third, eighth) time. Good, usable, lasting code
will be written and rewritten very often.
I made it even shorter.
They're both right.

I would suggest that you start with easiest first -- like html and css.
Once you figure out how to present stuff, then you can start bringing
in php, mysql and javascript to make it work.
As such, you'll need to subscribe to more than this list. Check out
the css-discuss and later the javascript list.
