Yes HTML is very useful, to be a web designer you HAVE to HTML and HTML is very use full. You can use it to make chrome apps and A LOT more

Thank you, I mean, i did a bit of it freshman year and I enjoyed it, im a Junior now (high school) and I got a book about it. So making sites with HTML people still do? I mean web designing (websites) Is what i want to start doing.

HTML is basically the frame or skeleton of a website so yes it is still very useful.

Unless of course you want a site to return plain text only, which is not normally what people want their site to do.

You can't make a web page without HTML. It's the basic framework for every page on the web. It basically communicates with the browser to help structure your page. There's pretty much no way around it if you want to become a web developer or programmer. It's used in correlation with CSS (formatting your site), JavaScript (Making it more interactive). Those are the 3 basic languages you pretty much must know to be a web developer. As you get further in you'll run into things like PHP, MySQL, and many more. These are pretty much real programming languages, sort of challenging to learn, unlike HTML and CSS, which are quite basic. I recommend reading books from O'Reilly publishing if you're serious about web. I'm a senior in high school and I'm currently studying these independently. A good book to start off with is "The Missing Manual: How to create a website." It'll introduce you to some basics of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, alomg with some server side stuff. After that continue with the Missing Manual series.

I recommend learning in this order.

HTML w/ CSS > JavaScript > PHP > then any additional

Keep in mind most big sites on the web are actually web applications, not web pages.

I can give you some of the many pdfs I have and help you out. I don't many people that are interested in web programming, so it's always good to find someone.

Yes its the most common script language followed by Java

Thank you for all the information! I guess a lot of things i always wonder about is for example, this reply box, and all the settings, is that done with html? like i know , yes the textbox it's self is, but i wonder about the stuff above/around it.

Not quite. Most forums, and social media sites are primarily, or at some point done using PHP, I think.

I would say all the text on here is done using HTML. Then it's formatted and placed in locations using CSS along with adding the colors etc. (unless the colors and rectangles are part of the background). All the shortcuts and functionalities of buttons are likely done using JavaScript. For the forum it's self, I'm not quite sure. I can be certain some PHP was used, but idk if it is or can fully run the site.

Maybe someone else can give you more information about the forums. I'm not quite sure what language it's using. I know a lot of forums run through a certain, template like programs, though I don't believe TTG does.

Note: Like I said, I could be a bit wrong on the actual program languages. I'm certain about my HTML and CSS facts, and a bit of JavaScript; but not the familiar with PHP at the moment. I'm a bit new to web dev/programming also, but i know a bit of my stuff lol.

I'm learning off of Codecademy right now, and im really enjoying it! Only major question, to even become successful in web designing, should i look into doing graphics too? Reason I ask this is cause all the banners and stuff, just look around on this site alone, so much stuff/banner ,logos, all that. Should I do that too or have someone do all that stuff?

HTML is client side - what it will look like, and php is server side - like getting information from a database.
