Hello does anyone know what type of site dropbox.com is programmed in? I love the look of this site and would like to create sites like it.

If you learn jQuery well, then you are a long way. However, learn HTML and CSS first. That is the foundations of almost all websites :)

In Dropbox's case the backend is performed using PHP in addition to the other things mentioned in the other post.
