Is HTML A Programming Language? (Do you HATE Idiotic Arguments?)
Is HTML a programming language or not, and what is computer code? Let’s compare HTML and CSS to JavaScript and other programming languages. Why do people argue whether or not HTML is a programming language? Maybe it’s because programmers feel devalued when compared to people who write HTML code… but is that way of thinking necessary or even justified. Conditional logic is key when it comes to programming languages, but if/else statements, for-loops and while-loops, etc, also exist in the form of mental exercises when creating HTML documents. Complexity is also overlooked and sometimes misunderstood. Consider for example the complexities of how HTML and CSS interact with each other and compare that to a few simple lines of JavaScript. When you consider that HTML and CSS are used together, and that CSS itself is a complex language, does it even make sense to ask the question of HTML versus programming? 00:00 - HTML VS Programming 00:20 - HTML Conditional Logic 01:00 - For & While Loops VS HTML 01:56 - Variables In HTML (Attributes) 03:01 - Mathematics In HTML (Styling) 03:26 - Coding Declarative VS Imperative 04:11 - Is HTML A Programming Language? 04:25 - HTML & CSS VS JavaScript
