HTML/CSS Which Programming Language Should You Learn After HTML&CSS?

Click For Summary
After mastering HTML and CSS, the next step in learning programming largely depends on the intended application. JavaScript is recommended for those focused on web development, as it enhances interactivity on webpages. For a more general programming experience, Python is suggested due to its versatility and ease of learning. C and Ruby are also options, but their relevance depends on specific project needs. Elm is mentioned as an emerging language that compiles to HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, appealing for future web programming trends. The time to master a new language varies, but dedicating three hours daily could lead to proficiency in a few months. Ultimately, the choice of language should align with the desired career path, whether it be web pages, web services, or native applications.

After learning HTML&CSS, which do you reckon I should learn? Javascript, Python, C or Ruby?

Also, how long would it take to master it assuming I spend full 3 hours each day?

How about Elm? It compiles to HTML+CSS+Javascript is poised to be the next big thing web programming.

elm-lang.org

with tutorials at:

elm-tutorial.org

If you want a more standard programming experience then go with Python.

Lastly, I like using the Processing.org IDE. It can do Java but it has Python mode and some examples and can do fancy graphics.
 
Depends on what you want to do.

That's like saying "I've learned English and French, what should I learn next?" It depends on if you want to do business in China or humanitarian causes in Africa.

Are you making webpages, webservices, native applications? HTML and CSS are all webpage stuff, so you either want to continue developing web page code (javascript) or learn webservice code (PHP usually.)
