I agree. I programmed for desktop and mobile before the web. Every time I tried to get started developing for the web I was held back by how many different things I needed to learn just to get started (html, css, js, ruby, rails, how servers work and how I get my site onto one, how to setup a local server for development). I use these things to build a web app which could be built on the desktop/mobile using one language.
