If you have never programmed before, I'd recommend you to start with html, then css, then javascript, then javascript on the server, then sql, then stop. Go back to the beginning and master every one of them.
Then in your spare time learn lisp.
The formers will give you money; the latter, enlightenment.
- jasongullickson 17y agoForgive me if I'm reading this wrong but it seems to assume someone is trying to learn how to program for the web. ...if you were interested in programming embedded microcontrollers for robots, html and css isn't going to get you too far and I think learning Javascript as your first "programming" language would do more harm than good...
- Kilimanjaro 17y agoWait, is there any other programming besides web programming? For 20 years I've been coding for mainframes, minis and desktops. No more, for the last ten years it all has been the web and solely the web. And I hope it stays like that. Regarding embedded programming, yeah you're right, but that's a totally different ballgame and I know most of the readers are interested in web stuff. About old-fart c++ desktop programmers, poor guys, whether they adapt or join the cobol programmers of last century. Or at least try Go, the language, to keep the fun alive.
