The answer to the question, “Which coding language should I learn first?” is widely debated and depends mostly on what you want to do with your code. If you’re looking to build websites from scratch and develop a strong base knowledge of the concepts of coding so you can go on to become fluent in other languages, HTML5 and CSS3 are worthwhile places to begin.
These languages are two essential building blocks of the internet. HTML is a markup language used for developing web pages, while CSS is a style sheet language used for describing the presentation of a document written in markup languages like HTML. Together, they form many of the webpages you browse every day.
