WELL bought a nice book today and it intodruces you to HTML5 --> CSS3 --> JavaScript
Might get a PHP book after that one!

Why buy a book when there is Codecademy?

Php is not a "real" programming language. If you are just starting, you should not make that mistake to take php as your desired language - http://eev.ee/blog/2012/04/09/php-a-fractal-of-bad-design/
I would say go with python, c# (PLENTY of work on the market - also websites). And, well, HTML, as the name says it itself, is a markup, not programming language (nor is javascript, css).

Why not? Free does not mean it suits everyone, neither does a book suit everyone. I liked the way of teaching this book followed so i bought it^^

Don't mind all the haters. I started with HTML, CSS and PHP. What language you ever program in there is still someone who gonna say "oh not that it sux" and so on. Well, start with HTML, CSS and PHP. When you feel that you handle it well, move over to python. But if you look to hook up on the job market I would say stay on PHP.

As someone who has spent 5 years in college studying computer science, please understand the concept in which the book is telling you, not just the code.
Copying code line by line isn't going to get you anywhere. I've met with people who make this exact mistake and end up dropping from the
computer science field because they couldn't distinguish the difference between a while loop and do-while loop, but knows how to write it in code. (THIS IS BAD)

I think i know what you mean, however worry not! After learning some new chapters i am always trying to accomplish some own ideas and use it differently than in the book
And when the book is finished i will surely do my own project
