Potion wrote If your just beginning i would suggest you totally check out HTML or Python on [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] its a great site for beginners or people looking to learn something new.

How long should I spend a day learning this? I know getting to much in 1 day will cause too much confusion.

Going Straight through an entire course in one day would be bad for anyone, you would soak nothing up into your head. I would pick one course and do it for 3-4 hours every day.

I went onto HTML basics and it says there is 14 things so is that the one full course?

No that is one section for the course there are 12 total sections in HTML & CSS, and each section has about 14 parts. If you feel like you are going to fast and not learning anything go over some of the sections you have already done it's like studying you will learn it.

Alright thank god, I thought that them 14 were the one and I was like there is no way I can get 3-4 hours out of this. I have never studied, even for my exams.

Alright man good luck learning the basics, the average course time is 7 hours, so you should be able to do this for 3-4 days. If you need any help just PM me.

Okay thank you for this. Will work on about 3 sections a day or something. Just so I dont lose what I learn.

The people that say Javascript is an easy language to learn, are typically those who don't know how to use it correctly. Javascript is very quirky, and I seriously wouldn't bother with it if you have no previous programming experience.

HTML and CSS will help you build simple websites, but if you really want to program, I would suggest starting with C as your first language. C is old, but still very much relevant today; and languages such as Java, PHP, C++, C#, etc.. all used C as their basis for building upon.

If your goal is to learn web development, then I do suggest learning HTMl in conjunction with CSS. After learning those, move on to Javascript, then a backend language such as PHP, Ruby, or Python. Though, you can easily learn and use any backend language outside of the web, most of your work with them will be for the web.

I do not suggest learning VB. My suggestions for a first programming language are C, Java, or C++

This channel has great java, javascript, and python tutorials for beginners.

Java, HTML 5, Python languages like that are simple and useful so are good starting points for programming. It would be quite hard to self teach C++, for example, as your first language.

If you want to start programming, you have to ask yourself one question "why do i need it?". Learning to program, understanding code and the computer is not that easy as you might think.

Is it worth your time to spend a year to become programmer. Because that's what it takes. I'm pretty sure you can do it, but if you don't need it, don't waste your time. Programming can be very overwhelming at times.

If after reading this you are still very excited to start programming. You might wanna look for basic HTML tutorials on YouTube. Screencasts seem to work the best for me. Some people like to read. I can recommend one book i know "HTML for dummies". The guy who wrote it, is pretty good at teaching and also keeping you entertained with lots of little jokes scattered troughout the book.

See what works for yourself, there is no "best" way to learn something. It really depends on how you are in real life.

But there is this one tip i can give you as an experienced developer. Don't overdo it. In other words don't try to learn HTML in a day. Start of slow, set small goals what you want to learn. Otherwise you will feel overwhelmed. And that's totally normal, nobody becomes a professional on day one. We all start somewhere from the bottom.

Good luck!

I also srated on VB6, Its easy but also do some Java
