python or HTML?

[theN00b]

ermmm..

in bad-brain's post for nubs he mentioned that its best to start with HTML, and then a reply was issued right after it with a link to a site that says that python is ftw to start with.

so which do i learn 1st?

...and...

is it really necesary to learn a programing language?

if you are a total beginner it's still the best to learn HTML first imo....because it's very easy. but well, you can't compare HTML and Python, HTML is a markup language and Python is "real" programming. "real" means it works with the attributes of every programming language...loops, variables, etc. HTML don't (or just in a VERY basic way).

HTML is like a bicycle, Python like a car...you can drive with both, but with a car you have more possibilities.

and well, you don't have to know how to write own applications, but for a deeper understanding of computing it's inevitable to know at least the basics of programming like loops and variables....but for this you can pick almost any language like Python, Perl, C++.....

then i choose python
i started learning it previously(even made a few shitty sites, the names of which i have long forgotten), but then a great evil came into my life... called world of warcraft. the following 2 years ive done nothing but dull my intelligence with it >.<

On most forums if you were to ask how to hack most people are going to say to learn programing. Yeah, it is absolutely necessary!

Just get a few books on programing from a library or book store. Close your self into your room, basement, or where ever you have peace and quiet and do not come out for 10 days.
