10 years ago I learned basic HTML by reading HTML for Dummies.. needless to say things are a bit more advanced nowadays. My end goal is to be able to help clients with their Facebook apps and to eventually start experimenting with iPhone apps. I'm reading through the HTML course on W3Schools and I figure I'll either hit PHP or CSS next. Any guidance about which order to start studying programming languages would be greatly appreciated.
CSS is not a programming language. Learn CSS first. Then learn javascript. Then learn something else, PHP or whatever. It might be a tossup, though, as to whether to learn js before PHP.
Gotcha, perhaps I should study the lingo first. So CSS and Javascript before PHP, got it. I was thinking PHP because I also run a blog, but that can wait. Thanks!
JSuper, In my opinion, to learn any programming language (not limited to php) you should mastering programming algorithm first. That would be good path to be a good programmer.
(X)HTML/CSS/JS/PHP ... in that order I do (X)HTML/CSS/JS ... some PHP, but who needs that today? If you can code (X)HTML/CSS/JS you can do a LOT, PHP is easy when you are good at JS
I strongly disagree. To learn php before css and javascript makes absolutely no sense. As other here have said, after html should be css and Javascript. After that, you should first look at some discussion about the pros and cons of php vs ASP.NET and then make your decision. Good luck!
Correct! In web development, you should start at the basics first, HTML then CSS followed by Javascript and then you can proceed to dynamic programming.
