what programming language should i learn first, i don't have any prior programming knowledge at all. I was told to start with HTML, but i heard elsewhere that HTML is quite slow and timetaking. I don't know if it is true or not, but what is your opinion?

Hi , Tricia hope the following steps will guide you in fixing of this issue.:
 
 
-->If at all you are going to learn programming yourself, then its better to think twice before making your decision as the language 
The choice will automatically affect your result in the progress and in my view " Python "   the right choice as a beginner and the reasons for traveling with Python as your maiden language is as follows :
 
->Python is a high level language as it comes with many of the functions and abstractions as required to think more about programming logic involved and the algorithms.
 
->Python is a general language as it can be used it to create any type of programs or softwares by using web scripts as you must be concentrated and interested in coding.
 
->Python is also an interpreted language because there is no waste of time with the compilation as it can be directly downloaded an integrated development environment (IDE) by writing code and using " Run ."
 
 
Thank you..:-)

HTML is not a programming language, but its a great way to ease yourself into the programming world. Its sort of halfway between normal thinking and programming thinking. I learned HTML before anything and had no problem.

http://www.w3schools.com/html/Default.asp is the site i learned HTML from, and I found it to be really good tutorial. The explanations are in the concise and easy to understand, and it lets you to try things for yourself on the website as you learn.

If you are planning on learning programming languages like C++ eventually, I suggest that, once you have learned HTML, learn JavaScript. it is a helper programming language for HTML, simple compared to other programming languages, and it's syntax is almost identical to java and C++. After learning JavaScript other programming languages should be relatively easy.

Of Course, if you do not care to learn HTML first, you can always start with some easier programming language like Python, which is powerful and real programming language, but not as complicated and difficult to learn as others. It depends on you goal. If you are planning on going into or interested in visual stuff, learning action-script might be the best way to start, so that you can make flash programs.

I am studying Python, I followed your advice Hoting Garcia. It is a bit hard but knowing the great advantage of studying this programming language, it is all worth it.
