Choosing a tech stack is the hard part imo, but there are obv things every stack needs, and db is one, so learn it sooner. I much prefer sql to nosql, and recommend that you learn it as soon as possible. Find out how to read queries at a minimum because that will help you learn how to build them. No matter what CRUD libraries are available in your main engine language, you will need to understand how to build a query for what you want.

HTML shouldn't take more than a day to understand; after that, reference pages should get you through.
CSS can be as complex as you want it to be, and understanding how it works will be valuable even if you wind up using a preprocessor like sass.
JavaScript is fun and aggravating, but improving all the time, so you'll need to keep up if you are going to use it for more than drop-down menus.

Are you going to do web apps or native apps? That will tell you what JS framework to concentrate on if you're going to go that route.
