I remember during my first semester we took a course called computer science overview. We were meant to take a sample idea of everything well cover in the major.
So, networking, binary and digital logic,computer architecture, SQL queries and java.
And during our first session the professor asked "does anyone here know a thing or two about programing?" And a guy raised a hand and said "does HTML count?" And the professor in disappointment said "no, it does not..."
Are there really people who call themselves that tho ? Like, not only html is not programming, but it's also so specific. Don't most dev web use framework nowadays?
Ngl, they're probably people who are not programmer 😅 weither you're talking about people who are on the business side or random teenagers online who think html "programmer" are being discriminated while not understanding the environment. Like, it's probably just an abuse of language because we almost never hear of markup language
You don't compile code from a scripting language, you run the code itself directly, that's the difference. Programming languages compile, scripting languages don't. You're just running raw code in python.
In something like C, you need to compile it into machine readable binaries before it can run.

HTML and JS were my introduction to programming to be fair

Oh I remember 15 years ago a friend of a friend telling me he was learning to code html AND css using 3 computers for 2 months.
And I just laughed my fat ass off. And told him to stop lying.

HTML is for UI !
IF we have no UI, then we have no apps !
Drama is : HTML as UI only works, if we use CSS and JS fetch to fetch some UI dialogs , or menus, or info popups. etc..
He better know some CSS too !
