Anyone else learning or have learned the programming language, HTML5?

I learnt a bit of it a couple of years ago when I did my certificate in IT. Learnt it for web design.
Very keen to learn it fully and take notes.

If you've learned it, how easy was it for you to learn and if you're learning it, is it simple for you to remember everything?

what do you mean 'learn fully'?

no one memorizes or learns languages fully anymore.

apply your learning to real projects and applications. you will never need 'all' of a language.

especially if you want this to be your career, employers would rather you know enough of several technologies to be useful in a variety of environments.

eg you won't just ever need HTML5. you'd also generally need CSS and Javascript to be useful in a front-end 'stack' of tech.

I have 'learned' HTML over many many years. always with CSS/JS and applying to real things. try making a website of your favourite stuff or checkout freecodecamp.org for learning and ideas.

Btw, HTML is not a programming leanguage. But if you keep lerning it you might jump into JavaScript, that's when the programing part beggins.

HTML isn't really much in demand nowadays without JS and CSS to back it up, as has been pointed out. I don't think I've ever met anyone who's learnt all there is to know about any programming language, but doing some basic free online material and then just starting to develop websites seems to work best. You'll definitely learn more by doing and the practice will help turn all the basics into muscle memory, while also teaching you where to go look for the more complex stuff. Things that may have seemed really roundabout on first glance end up being a breeze after the first few webpages worth of slogging through. You'll eventually even have projects you're proud of that you can show off to potential employers. Good luck with your learning!

This might be discussion for several hours:)
HTML - You can write simple web pages (https://www.w3schools.com/html/)
-> you can use CSS (style definition for easier "use") and javascript for some kind of interactivity between client and server

If you need to save data in database or anything else, which HTML can't do, you need to reffer to a "stack" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LAMP_%28software_bundle%29)
Here comes in play PHP/Python.
And from now you need to understand what is happening on server side and what on client side.


//no offense, but I would completely ignore the note about C++
