I have both programming and HTML/CSS experience. I would call myself an intermediate-level programmer using VB.NET and C#. I've done several websites using HTML/CSS with a smattering of active content using PHP but nothing fancy such as data-driven websites.
I'm looking at moving from desktop to browser-based programming but I'm not sure what route to take. I want to be able to build powerful, client-side applications that are platform-independent but I don't have a good feel for what the limitations are. Is it worth it to learn Java script or should I go straight into something more powerful like PHP?
I'm looking at code editors/IDEs too. Webstorm looks pretty nice but I wish you could add languages to it rather than have to get a whole new IDE for using PHP.
I should add that I'm a hobby programmer, not professional.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
