1But, this site is just one example in the rapidly developing landscape of online computer programming resources. Now, a plethora of tools exist for teaching oneself a wide range of programming languages and Web design skills. Whether you want to design a Web site, create a game, visualize data, or build a mobile app, there is a resource out there to help you. In fact, so many resources exist that it can be difficult to determine which tools are best suited to your goals. The first step to picking the best resource for your purpose is to decide how you hope to use your new skills. To do so, it is important to understand the difference between programming languages and HTML/CSS. HTML and CSS define the structure and style of online documents. They are important tools for designing usable and engaging Web sites, but they are not programming languages because they do not allow you to express an algorithm or tell a computer how to complete a task. 2
