Ah, but I was responding to post #6, in which he asked for two things: the easiest to learn and a language that would help him learn other languages. Hence, my response that Visual Basic was cake to learn, but that Java would help him if he planned on moving forward.

It was an evolving conversation and not just the question in post 1 that I was speaking on.

Aha! Yeah see, I didn't miss the evolution, I just didn't read it quite the same way as you. I thought he was just coming at his original request from another angle in post #6; basically saying, "I want to learn php to hack my own site, but if y'all think there's an even easier language I can learn that can get me started, I'm interested." In which case I thought "Learn Java" was an odd response, since Java is a bit more complex than php.

I'd say HTML is the easiest web-based language. CSS is also quite easy.
