HTML and CSS

HTML is a markup language and CSS is a style language. HTML defines how a page should be structured and CSS defines how a page looks on the screen. These HTML and CSS languages are considered front-end languages because they operate in the browser(no server needed).

Some programmers do get started with full languages like Python or JavaScript. But if you want to build for the web and aren’t sure where to start then HTML/CSS should be #1 on your priority list.

The two languages are very different, but they complement each other nicely. A page with just HTML will work, but it will not look pretty. Likewise a pure CSS file actually won’t show anything in the browser because there’s no HTML to render.

If you can learn HTML and CSS then you can build websites. They may not be dynamic or programmable, but pure HTML/CSS websites can work and look good.

The most updated versions of these languages are HTML5 and CSS3. They just add new features that make developing websites a lot easier.
