If you want to do front end web dev, learn these languages in this order: HTML - http://www.w3schools.com/html/ http://www.w3schools.com/html/ CSS - http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp Javascript - http://eloquentjavascript.net/contents.html http://eloquentjavascript.net/contents.html And then pick one of the following two: PHP - http://www.tuxradar.com/practicalphp http://www.tuxradar.com/practicalphp or Rails - http://ruby.railstutorial.org/ruby-on-rails-tutorial-book http://ruby.railstutorial.org/ruby-on-rails-tutorial-book There are many languages that you can learn for front end other than RoR and PHP, but they are two of the most popular right now, and will almost certainly suit your needs. Good luck, and stick with it when it gets frustrating, learning how to code is definitely worth it!

Thanks! This is exactly the advice I needed! I'm majoring in business, but I realized I actually really love computer science; however, I think if I majored in it then I wouldn't really love it anymore. Starting on HTML!

Also, do you have any recommendations on whether I should have a end target to build mobile apps or web apps? I know the mobile app industry is growing,but I'm not sure which path to take. Is there a specific language targeted towards mobile app vs. web development? or is it the same background?
