💻 Key Programming Languages & Their Uses
- HTML: The backbone of all web pages — defines structure (headings, paragraphs, forms).
- CSS: Adds design to websites — controls layout, fonts, colors, animations.
- JavaScript: Brings interactivity — used for validation, dynamic content, DOM manipulation.
- C Language: Teaches low-level memory control and hardware-oriented logic.
- C++: Introduces Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and complex data structures.
- Python: Best for beginners and advanced fields like AI, ML, automation, and web APIs.
- C#: Powerful for Windows apps and Unity game development.
