Technology news on Phys.org
w3schools.com has tutorials for beginners on HTML & XHTML, writing web pages, etc. They also have tutorials on scripting for both the browser and server sides.
 
Of those three, um, languages, only HTML will let you make web pages. Java can be used on an existing HTML page, and XHTML, a type of XML closely related to HTML, can be used to make web pages too -- but they're similar enough that if you learn one you're learned the other.
 
There are a bunch of tutorials.

This is beginner-oriented:

...then CSS.
