Transitioning from programming language to programming language is no easy feat, even for those who have been doing it for quite some time.  It's no secret that a versatile programmer should know at least a half dozen or so programming languages to be efficient (I will count HTML and CSS as separate languages for this discussion).  As a web developer, I started out by learning HTML and CSS through the use of Microsoft Frontpage (now Microsoft Expressions).  I would use pre-built templates and took full advantage of the WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) functionality of the tool.
