I'd like to take a web course on a programming language, but what?

I would start with html but it's not really that hard, when I was learning it most of it just made sense but was time consuming. I forgot most everything now cuz I have not used it in over a year. I am going to take a course as well and learn it over.

why not learn perl?

I would recommend XHTML first although it’s not a programming language.

that's debatable...there are quite a few things that can be done with xhtml. i would consider it a programming language, as you 'program' web pages. even though, technically, it's a markup language.

Learn html then php, and maybe perl too but I never bothered with that... but what's cool about perl is that it's more H4X0Rish so that means it's cool. You need to send all the http headers yourself etc...

But with php and html you can do allot. My whole site is custom coded by moi. Glad I learned that stuff. SQL is good to learn too, but it's not really a programming language, but it's still a language of it's own used in php. I guess it's like a sub language, like mfc is a sub language of C++.

Actually it is a programming language. Most programmers learn html before anything.

I thought the usual first programming language people learn is Pascal.

Yep… You’re just giving structure to text basically. That’s a paragraph, that’s a link, etc. You aren’t processing any data…

fragged , what i just said to you

most colleges and uni's now-a-days is starting beginners on java. java and c++ seem to be the core languages there. if learning c++ it helps to have some knowledge of c. of course there's a myriad of languages to learn. shoot, if you want you can go for the gusto and go hard core and learn assembly. shoot, you can get even more hard core and just learn machine language programming. the choice is yours to make. but if you want to learn programming, you need to know how your hardware works too... well, maybe not, there is visual basic after all...

Yeah if you want to go nuts and learn assembly, you can do anything with that and I mean anything. It's low level which makes it better, but harder to use.
