On windows I used to use Notepad++ or PSPad, now I use Kate on Linux Anyway XHTML is HTML but with the rules from XML (like all tags need closing like <a ...>...</a> or <img ... />)
@trystanr(View Post) Ok, HTML pretty much the base of any internet pages. Learning it opens you the gate to JavaScript and PHP And helps you hacking extremely low security websites And makes XML ( A HTML-ish way to keep data ) actually make sense. It's a good start for 'Programming' ( More like Web pages building ) but won't last you long. You will have the choice to stay in the sky, to go on solid ground or even deep dig into your computer ( Web, App, Assembly/Binary ). Good luck.
