SUMMARY

After mastering HTML and CSS, the recommended programming languages to learn are JavaScript, Python, and Ruby, depending on the desired application area. JavaScript is essential for web development, while Python offers a more standard programming experience and is versatile for various applications. Elm, which compiles to HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, is emerging as a significant tool for web programming. The Processing.org IDE is also highlighted for its capabilities in Python mode, particularly for graphics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of HTML and CSS fundamentals
  • Familiarity with JavaScript for web development
  • Basic knowledge of Python for general programming
  • Awareness of web services and server-side programming concepts
NEXT STEPS
  • Learn JavaScript frameworks such as React or Vue.js for advanced web development
  • Explore Python libraries like Flask or Django for web services
  • Investigate Elm through resources on elm-lang.org and elm-tutorial.org
  • Experiment with the Processing.org IDE to create graphics using Python mode
USEFUL FOR

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.)
