cve60069 Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 I am new to HTML programming having "cut my teeth" on a card-reading IBM in 1974 and then using Unix on a VAX 11/780 in the 1980's with my preferred programming language being ASM, PASCAL and FORTRAN. To get a programming language for a PC always cost loadsa-money and, over the years, I settled on using Excel for all my programming needs. Frustrating but at least I had VB. I always considered the 4-th generation of programming languages to be an easy cop-out from the real programming. How wrong I was. I am so impressed by HTML and more importantly, the community that uses the web; the tutorials, forums, the abilities of the participants and the quality of the software and interpreters offered free. Many thanks to the members of W3S and the community. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingolme Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 HTML isn't a programming language, though. There are a lot of free development tools for programming in C, C++, Java, PHP... you don't need to pay any money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
