Got the picture.
Well, that will not put me down.
I have CS degree, I have 14 years experiences in High-Tech industry as a QA and lots of knowledge.
My goal is to be a founder of a similar site (technically) like 24floors.com and I need to start somewhere.
Thanks tzaman.
Truthfully it depends. Some people pick up on stuff quickly. Just come up with an idea and start building. I find that the best way to learn. If you get stuck just Google.

If you're in it alone, I'd say 3 - 5 years.
Sorry, didnt get your answer. It may take me up to 5 years? and what do you mean by saying "... in it alone"
Okay, to build something like 42floors you need the following knowledge (guesstimating):
- HTML5
- CSS3
- Javascript
- basics of image manipulation
- some kind of backend language (PHP, Python, Ruby, Node.js,...)
- some kind of database engine knowledge (SQL, NoSQL, both?)
- user experience planning, testing and execution
- extensive server administration
- different APIs
These are just the technical aspects, now count in the whole business side of things. 3-5 years. Probably more if you want to master all of the above.
