Javascript:

Javascript is the scripting language found in every web browser and is a key technology that every web designer should learn. If you want to validate forms, create drop-down menus, use Ajax and a whole slew of other effects, you need to learn at least basic Javascript.

JQuery is a Javascript library (canned javascripts) that make it really easy to create all kinds of cool web widgets. Once you know basic Javascript, it's time to learn the very powerful JQuery.

PHP:

PHP is the most popular web scripting/programming language out there. PHP is one of the fundamental languages that every web designer should learn since so many common tasks are accomplished with PHP: processing forms, sending emails, creating shopping carts and much more.

If you want to be a complete web designer (and beat the competition) you must learn at least basic PHP. You will not regret it!
