Quick question about coding layouts

[Nemo]

I wanted to get into coding layouts, as i thought it'd be something useful to learn. However, im just wondering what languages you can code them in. I know there's HTML and CSS, but what is the difference between the two? Would one be better for one kind of layout? Is one easier to learn ? Is one more complex? And of course, what other languages are there and are they better?

Thanks. :D



Maybe i should have said quick questions

HTML, in simple words, is the basic, barebone markup language to make the webpage. CSS, however, is the coding you use to stylize the layout.

CSS and HTML both work together so you should learn both. I feel that CSS was easier to learn than HTML, but both are equally easy really.

HTML and CSS are complimentary. CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheet, which does just that - lists a series of style rules that tells the browser how to display the HTML content.

They're both very easy to learn :).

Other languages to get into later on are ones to generate dynamic content such as PHP etc, but you will always need to output a HTML / CSS front end.

I hope that helped.

Thankies to both, +rep.

So im guessing i'll learn HTML first if that's the backbone, to the tutorials section!
