If you want to find holes in applications you'll probably need to add assembly to your list.

PHP and JavaScript would be handy for the web front then you could practice things on www.hackthissite.org, you could lean ASP too but then again you could also put your computer in a large microwave oven on full power for a few hours (or until the microwave breaks) then when that's done you could drop it onto a motorway and watch vehicles smashing into it, both rather unproductive. ASM definitely is the ticket for the program front and and a good book on the subject of program exploitation is Hacking:The Art of Exploitation which is Linux based (same principles apply to windows), teaches C + some basic assembly language too. Don't do anything naughty though...

is there a order what i should learn after java, or is everything just as important?

if your not on a schedule just learn everything you can when you can, if you get stuck on anything do something else for a while then come back to it, even if that while is a year or something while you learn and use some more programming languages.
