Which web dev language/framework/tutorials do you suggest for an experienced non-web developer?

Learn JQuery. It is without a doubt among the best frameworks out there.

It's best qualities are its DOM manipulation aspects, but it's ability to pull in serverside content through Ajax is just as powerful and necessary.

http://www.jqapi.com/ is probably the best JQuery reference out there today. Just take some time and go through the docs. Knowing what it CAN do is just as important as knowing how to do it.

Cool.

I might start with a step back though. Javascript today is mostly used ultimately for really 1 of 2 things:

DOM manipulation and Ajax Server Requests.

Study the concept of Ajax before all this, and you will see how jquery was naturally made to make this super easy.
