web-applications

I'm in the process of learning C++. But there's so much more that I want to do online - web apps, iphone apps, websites.

So I'm thinking of learning another language, one that would allow me to make (or at least attempt to make) useful applications.

Now, what language should I look into learning? And, how do you recommend I go about learning it?
