When I bought my first domain and hosting package (last January) I knew 0 HTML and 0 CSS. Over the next few months, I dabbled with Joomla, Wordpress, Drupal, and other CMS packages. They were okay but I didn't really find the need for them.
About.. March or something I had to host a contest, and realized I wanted to show off the results. I stole scripts and a web page from various sites and put together a system that uploaded images, and would show them off. It was alright, but I didnt write any of it really so I didnt think of it as my own.
Later in May or June, I wanted to start doing livestream stuff. At this point, I started learning HTML as fast as I could, and just put a page together. It was horrible.
I made revisions to the page in July, and August as I started learning CSS. I figured I was doing alright.
About September of this year, I finally put out a page that I liked. I had gotten good enough at HTML and CSS to make the page look pretty, but I thought it was missing something..... AH! PHP! I had used JS in the past, but I suck at writing it. PHP on the other hand.. I can learn that pretty easily.
This brings me up to my current page for livestreams. I learned how to write the HTML, CSS, and PHP (For the most part) by myself. The page features a "login" system, that features a backend. I even threw some jquery in there to make the page prettier and save some space.

I know what I wrote probably isnt the cleanest and best, but I got it up and working. That's what matters in the end.
