I want to learn how to program, and so i figured i would start small and go from HTML to CSS and now I’m starting JavaScript. I’m wondering if i should continue on this path or jump into python and start there since i heard that’s a good language to start at and learn proper syntax. What do you think?

Continue learning. There’s no reason not to. Experience is experience. Javascript will be more useful for you seeing as you already know HTML and CSS. Python is a good language, but if I were you, I wouldn’t bother myself with learning it until I felt I had at least a decent grasp of Javascript. After Javascript, I’d suggest C++. Or, if you’re into making lighter applications, C#. The language you use depends on preference and project. But either way, I’d continue down the road you’re on. Not to mention the fact that learning Javascript will help you with any other language you try to learn.
Good luck.

Check the bottom of it, Its most likely the heart of the matter if you will.

Javascript is a fine place to continue. If you want to stick with web programming, PHP should be next. If you want to jump to desktop programming, you may want to consider C#, which will give you the benefit of Microsoft’s excellent GUI building tools (unless it doesn’t bother you to have program that run in the background or from the command line, in which case Python is fine). The syntax of C# is also similar to a lot of other languages (whereas Python has almost completely unique syntax).

You should follow whatever you find interesting. If it’s HTML, great. If it’s Python, great. If it’s .NET, great.

Most people say that Java is a easy programing language not me lol. But then again I did not like HTML so that my have something to do with it. But i say stay the path ur on. try C++ after Java now that’s a hard one.

Choose whatever you like best. If you love websites, then you can continue with JavaScript and server-side programming (PHP, ASP, Java) or you may get into making software with Python – it’s your choice.
