are HTML and CSS "real" languages?

Post by eternalworm2008 »

I just got into progamming so i dont know about many of the inside jokes within the community, but I hear HTML and CSS arent "real"
languages and that one should learn somethinge else.

I myself am learning HTML because i wanted to make my own website, should i give up and learn a real language like c or assembly?

Cool I think your permissions are working now so sweet.

So html and css are relevant as building structures fore websites. But actually doing anything with is i guess isnt needed. This forum I havnt wrote actual html in no shit 20 years. Not that I was good back either. Think of it like html is building block code. CSS is paint and pretty things up. Then you have phpBB is this forum when your type stuff it uses both html and CSS to create better esthetic.

Oops anyways so modern hosting websites just have software that makes the code for like this forum and its fairly easy to do things. Then I did take 2 days to figure your permissions so..
Dissident Wire- I didn't want to build it, but when has the world done anything right without me?
