Learning to program is not easy for everyone, it requires a logical mind and good problem solving skills. Which language do you consider to be the easiest language to start learning... Java, C, html?
 
Visual Basic is the easiest, I've created a few small programs with it. One would pretend to be a Windows Live updater and steal your login details and email them me and the other would change your background to the cookie monster and keep doing it via registry keys even if you changed it to something else lol.

VB is worth a shot, but if you're thinking about long term then C# can be good and MS has good resources. I did mean to learn C# but never bothered. I also want to learn Python for my Raspberry Pi.
 
HTML is easy language. HTML is stand for Hyper text Markup Language. HTML is used to creating the website. There are many HTML Tag are used.
 
HTML is a markup language, not programming. If you're looking to get into something easy that teaches you the basics, I'd heavily recommend starting with Python. It's lightweight, simple, and runs on pretty much anything you need. Get a copy of "Learn Python the Hard Way", or use the online version and code away. You can learn it in a matter of weeks, and trust me, it does come in handy.

If you want something heavier to start with, Java or C++ are also decent. You might want to look into the concepts first, however.
 
HTML was an easy language for me to learn. I taught myself. I checked out a basic HTML book from the library and started building websites. Even though I no longer do any coding, I still remember HTML.

Of the three you have listed HTML is, by far, the easiest. However, it isn't in the same class of languages as Java and C. HTML is for presentation while both Java and C will allow you to write a program that actually does something. If you want to learn a language that will develop a "logical mind and good problem solving skills", HTML is definitely NOT the language for you.

I recommend starting with php. It's free, you don't need a compiler or any special software other than a server. You will learn the fundamentals of data relationships and these skills will transfer to any language you want to learn in the future.
 
You can't really do anything with HTML, but for real noobs it is a good starting point. Just to learn how code can function and to create scrolling text etc haha. After that, VB or Python are often recommended. I haven't played with Python yet, but VB is great.
 
Thanks for all the responses, some of which are quite funny. At least we all know that HTML means Hyper Text Markup Language and the conclusion is that the easiest language the learn is English :confused:
 
I think HTML is easiest language to learn and it also basic for website development. But some time it depends on the interest of learner which type language how really deserve like PHP, C, ASP.Net ,Java.
 
HTML should be the starting point for all programmers. It's the easiest to learn. You could get a good grasp of HTML in a couple hours, and you should also learn CSS while you're at it. After that I'd recommend learning PHP so you could code login pages, and stuff like that.
 
I would say HTML and CSS, and I am mentioning them together since they really compliment each other and it's not particularly useful to only learn one and not the other. HTML alone would have gotten you by in the 1990's, but CSS is necessary to style your pages these days. CSS is built around HTML, so it's useless on it's own. But if you don't understand HTML, you're not going to understand how to apply CSS to it.

Javascript and/or JQuery would be the next thing I would suggest learning. Perhaps even just JQuery then stepping up to Javascript down the road once you get the hang of it. JQuery is basically a bunch of pre-written javascript functions/code that you can reference to speed up your development.

PHP is also very valuable to learn if you really want to start building functional web applications.
 
HTML is best and easiest language to learn and it will be the base in case you want to learn any other language like php, c, c++. this will be your base
