What are some good websites for learning programming languages?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around recommendations for websites to learn programming languages, specifically HTML/CSS, and the appropriate programming languages for developing mobile apps on iOS. It includes both general learning resources and specific language inquiries.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Debate/contested, Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant critiques Codecademy.org and seeks alternatives for learning HTML/CSS.
  • Another participant recommends w3schools.com for learning web development languages and scripting.
  • A participant supports the recommendation of w3schools.com and suggests that Objective C is the primary language for iOS app development, questioning the relevance of Java.
  • Another participant agrees that Java is not typically used for iOS development and mentions that they have not seen Java used on iOS, suggesting that Game Maker may be an option for game development on iOS.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing opinions on the best resources for learning programming and the appropriate languages for iOS development. There is no consensus on the best website for learning programming languages or the use of Java for iOS apps.

Contextual Notes

There are assumptions about the capabilities of programming languages on iOS that remain unverified, and the discussion does not resolve the effectiveness of the suggested websites.

Codecademy.org is not a good website. What are some good websites to learn HTML/CSS? Also, is Java the programming language to learn if you want to make free mobile apps on iOS?

You can learn a lot of really awesome things for website's, as well as languages and scripting that help web development.
 
I second what elusiveshame said about w3schools.com. As far as writing apps for iOS, I believe that the language most often used is Objective C, not Java. I'm not at all involved in anything Apple, so I could be wrong about this.
 
I believe you're right about iOS development. I don't think java is available on iOS, much like flash isn't supported either. At least I've never seen java being used on iOS, so take that for what it is :p

If you're looking for game dev on iOS, I believe Game Maker exports to iOS (as well as psn), but I haven't done anything in it yet (will be soon, though)
