It really depends what you are trying to accomplish.

If your goal is to build websites I would recommend learning
HTML, CSS and JavaScript

However, C++ is better for writing your own programs

The diffrent languages are like tools in a tool box. Which is better the hammer or the screwdriver? The answer is simple, are you tryng to drive a nail or a screw?

Answer 10

it depends on what you want to do. c++ and html serves hugely different purposes so it isn't fair to say that one is better than the other. those two are simply different. if you want to build pc apps, video games, or the back end of software then c++ is the way to go. if you want to make web pages then html can do that. I've heard python is used extensively in designing scientific applications and Java is good for mobile platforms. it all depends on what you want to do.

Answer 11
