What coding language did you start with, and on a scale of 1-10 (1 being easiest, 10 being hardest) how hard is it to become fluent in it?


Thanks.

Visual Basic .Net is pretty easy the syntax is based a bit more around the english language, I learnt VB when I was 12 and I got pretty proficient at it.

HTML and CSS aren't considered languages by the majority of experienced people.
HTML is a markup language and CSS is just design formatting.
If you mean a real language, it depends on what you want to do.
If you want to do Web Development Javascript or PHP is a good starting point.
If you want to do more application based stuff, most people start with C#. Java is a good starting language as well.

HTML & CSS is a good starting point it can be learnt so quickly before and gives you basic understanding on how a web page works if you have absolutely no idea like i did a few months back

Markup Languages ( designed for the processing, definition and presentation of text. The language specifies code for formatting, both the layout and style, within a text file. ) are the best to learn first, because you need to know HTML & CSS as the backbone of any project. I would then learn the programming language PHP and MySQL as this is used in conjunction with HTML & CSS.

HTML & CSS create the front end aesthetics of a webpage with no functionality. For example, log in forms won't work with just HTML & CSS. This is where you need PHP & MySQL to complete this.

The best thing you can do is download a website template, open the index.html (homepage) in a text processor like Notepad++ and mess around with the code.
Free Website Templates: You must login or register to view this content.

Another practical thing you can do is visit any webpage, right click and click "View Page Source" or CTRL + U on Windows. This will show you the HTML on the webpage. - With this in mind, it will only show you the HTML. PHP is a server side scripting language so everything done with PHP can't be seen as this would be a massive security flaw.

Hate when people call HTML & CSS "Programming Languages".
