When it comes to creating web pages one of the easiest to learn and most commonly used is call HTML which stands for HyperText Markup Language. HTML is not a very hard language to learn and is great for making simple web pages especially those for personal use. While HTML is an easy language to learn it usually takes a combination of other languages to create more advanced pages with dynamic menus and other fancy items you see on a lot of today's pages. Some of those involve JavaScript, Dynamic HTML, Flash or other methods.

Another type of language which was created for a specific purpose is called SQL or Structured Query Language. SQL was made to deal with databases which are used to store, maintain and manipulate in large quantities. There are a variety of flavors of SQL most of them are specific to a certain type of database, one of the simpler ones is Microsoft Access.

Other types of program languages are those which allow the creation of applications which were used to create operating systems, word processors and many other types. Depending on the complexity of the language it may or may not take a lot of effort to understand these languages.
