most experianced programmers would know things but just for people starting you, we should add some facts and reasons which normally become usual misunderstandings ;)..

oh well......here's a start:

HTML, CSS is not programming..

why? HTML and CSS aren't programming since there is no conditions, variable assignments and functions. HTML is a markup language while CSS is more of an add-on to HTML, providing styling.

so what is is a programming language? languages like javascript, c++ and php - plus many more are. see, you can compare HTML:

CODE
<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com -->

<body>
  <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
     <tr>
        <td>
           i'm in a table
        </td>
     </tr>
  </table>
</body>

<!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->


and php:

CODE
<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com -->

<?php

$_MYSQL = new MySQL();
$_HANDLER = $_MYSQL->Handler();

$_HANDLER->query("SELECT * FROM test");

while($rows = $_HANDLER->next()) {
  print $rows['columnName'];
}

?>

<!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->


now post your 'did you know' fact ;)

did you know...

Since 1495, no 25-year period has been without war. Since 1815 there has been 210 interstate wars. During the past 100 years there were more conflicts than during any previous century. And they continue. Currently there are more than 18 theatres of conflict. Many conflicts are the result of disputes over land rights, sometimes tiny uninhabited islands. Currently there are 46 major land disputes between countries.
The longest was the so-called 100-years war between Britain and France. It actually lasted 116 years, ending in 1453. (It was during the 100-years war that Britain introduced direct taxation on income to finance the war with France.) The shortest war on record took place in 1896 when Zanzibar surrendered to Britain after 38 minutes.

note: MySQL is not programming either. MySQL is a database system. XML, MSSQL, Oracle are database systems.

the php code i posted above was merely a MySQL iterator.

if you are fairly good in maths, programming isn't that hard. i take maths, ad maths and physics as well. so i guess those help too.
