@man_ta_mero_nepali,

Definitely starting out with HTML, CSS and Javascript is must for a web developer. After you become familiar with these basic stuffs try learning some UI Frameworks, jQuery, AnguarlJS, Backbone, etc. Becoming a UI developer means you will have to learn new stuffs constantly and rapidly. Market is changing too fast to keep up. Now focus is on NodeJS, MEAN stack, React js, Angualr 2, gulp, grunt, Jasmine, Protractor etc. So wrapping you head around new stuffs is very helpful.

Also SASS/SCSS and Bootstrap are very essential now a days.
If you are trying to learn, write code from scratch. Dont use any generator or seed projects to help you. Write code on plain Notepad instead of some autocomplete tool. Learn native Javascript first before jumping into frameworks like Angular. They make your life easier but you will not know anyting happening underneath.

UI developers have to interact with data coming back from backend so you will need to be very good at webservices calls, AJAX calls. Some cases you will need some form of SQL. And knowing source control software is required for everyone like git.
