I know much of this is the same to the average person, but is it weird that I cringe a little when I see markup and stylesheets referred to as 'code'?

- joejohnson 15y agoI was thinking the same thing. If someone wanted to learn to "code" in a day, they'd be better off learning an easy general-use programming language like Python. While HTML/CSS will have a more familiar result, starting a non-nerd off on Python might be more illuminating and demonstrate how to think like a programmer.
