From the web to games
Taking a look at OpenGL may not be a terrible idea. You can use the library in many languages,  and is supported with  in HTML5 (WebGL). There are several excellent tutorials out there.
I'm a basic web developer. I know PHP, a little bit of Python and Ruby. JavaScript as well [some stuff]. I'm not a hardcore developer. I know what it takes do develop most of web cases.
Now, I have this desire to go deeper and start developing games. I know it sounds a huge leap, but that is why I'm asking here. I already have some games ideas. It would be simple 2d plataform games, and I would like to know what is the best way to start.
I don't want to start with Flash. I'm looking for working with other stuff. I already started to look around for the Unity 3D framework and UDK, but I just don't know how to get started.
So, any hints, tips or sugestions to make?
