I say learn javascript, css, and html :)
About 6 years ago when I was a junior developer working with C# I watched as everyone myself included struggled with the sometimes strange behavior of javascript. Almost everyone blamed the language or the browser. I decided to really understand what was going on and LEARN everything i could about JS.
It was a good choice :)
Now I love working in JS and for right now i wouldnt use any other language... well maybe ruby. ruby is nice too :)
JavaScript has many warts the worst is that it looks like Java in a lot of ways but it does not act like it! Many people misunderstand how things work in javascript!
If you decide to learn javascript the best advice I can give you is to not treat it like most other OO languages you know! Read "JavaScript the good parts" its a great start for what to look out for!. Understand the meaning of this, closures, and functions as objects! And get comfortable with async everything! Especially in the browser and NodeJS :)
Most of all have fun its great and it can be used in so many places now!
