i have a couple questions about several programming langauges(mainly languages for web pages[ex. html])?

Question

ok one where can i learn to write java... the java i am thinking of is the kind that you can insert into web pages that are like doohickeys that move and stuff(like if youve seen it its a clock that says time and date and when you move the cursor it scrambles up and moves with the cursor)(i have only worked with html 4.0 im sorry if i sound
"technologically illiterate") also where can i learn to write/make programs(i want to make programs to mod halo 2 mainly but not restricted to that) thanks!

Answer 1

Here's a few sites for learning Java script http://docs.rinet.ru/J21/

the great thing about Java script is that you can just add a snippet of code to your site here are some good ones

Answer 2

What you want to learn is Java Script, it's a language you use to embed code in HTML pages and allows you to modify the page dynamically according to user actions and more. There are a ton of free tutorials in the web, if you know HTML, it should be easy. For mods i think you must learn a lower language, like C for example.
