These skills tend to complement each other. Learning just one will limit what projects you can work on and also make you reliant on other developers. The question you need to ask yourself is whether you want to be a back end or front end programmer. If you don't want to commit at this stage then Javascript, which can do both, is a great bridging skill. I would suggest you then start with HTML, and then Javascript the progression here is gentle and will ensure you don't get buried with new concepts from the beginning. Learning Javascript is also a good idea because it is really hot at the moment. Many of the trending new frameworks, like node and angular, are based around Javascript. Once you learn these skills you will really increase your earning potential - not to mention the chances of working on exciting commercial projects.

1337ca You can reply in one statement also then why are you spamming? And don't compare Html with python. HadexGM Sequence to learn- html -> CSS -> JavaScript -> jQuery HTML doesn't depend on OS. You can write Html in a notepad and open it on browser. HTML also doesn't need any server to run or compile.

These are 2 different languages. Html builds framework and JS controls the operation. So u can learn any of them first and even u can learn both of them together

Yes..i think you should because you implement JavaScript in html. It's like asking if you need a cigarette to smoke..
