I’m assuming you’re too young for college, otherwise that would be the answer.
Start with HTML and CSS. There is a great book called Headfirst HTML and CSS that I recommend.
Or if you want something free, go to and read their tutorials.
Then get a copy of Visual Web Developer from Microsoft. Don’t worry, it’s free. You can use it to write HTML, CSS and VB script (which you use with ASP.net.
Also from the same site you can get a learning version of SQL, which you use for databases and which integrates with ASP.net very easily.
But first things first.
1) Learn HTML until you can do headings, text, images, lists and forms.
2) Learn CSS so you can create the presentation of your pages.
3) Learn Javascript to make your pages more dynamic and interactive
4) learn ASP.net or PHP along with either Visual Bais (for ASP) or C# (for PHP.) Learn server side scripting.
5) Learn SQL for database management. Learn how to make it interact with ASP or PHP.
You can get all of this out of books. But start with the Head First books. They are fun, user friendly and based on modern cognitive theory rather than just throwing information at you in a dense, boring fashion.

I learned at w3schools.com and tizag.com
I’d recommend these to anyone aspiring to learn web development.

I think you are thinking like sukrat, but I think you should cover the other side of the topic in the post too…
