What?! HTML5? That's not going to help him. If you want to learn how to hack websites, you must understand how they are hacked.



1. You can upload a server side script to do something on the website. Common languages for these are PHP, ASP.net, Python, Ruby, etc.



2. Probably the greatest way websites are hacked is through something called SQL injection. Obviously, they langauge involved here is SQL. However, SQL has different "brands", learn mySQL because it is the most widely used and it's free!



3. The final important way to hack is to post a script on the website, such as in a comments section. You can use JavaScript to do this.



First, learn JavaScript, then PHP, finally SQL.



The final caution would be never to hack websites unless you have the owner's full permission.



Anyways, I hope this helps.

HTML5 is not a language, it's a widely abused term that is used in reference of many new-age technologies that are appearing in web development lately.



If you want to learn how to hack and crack codes, then HTML isn't for you. It's hardly a programming language, it's just a very simple markup language, although it is good to learn first so that you can get used to writing many lines of code and so on.



My personal recommendation is Visual Basic.Net. It's an extremely easy programming language developed by Microsoft, and the rules of writing it are very relaxed. Some language demand a semi-colon at the end of each line, or have other specific guidelines, where Visual Basic.Net isn't very strict, therefore I find it easier to learn since you're aren't worried about missing a period or semi-colon somewhere.



Also, Visual Basic.Net has a ton of built in code that is extremely easy to use for some things you would probably enjoy, such as interacting with a website(since you seem to have an interest in messing with other peoples programs, like I do). The first real program I built with VB.Net solved a basic captcha and then automated the game play of a web-based game I enjoyed... so you may enjoy it also.



Overall, it's hard to tell you what language to pick. There's many of them, and each has it benefits or downsides, and it really depends on what person you're speaking to. It also depends on what you want to accomplish. Such as HTML for websites, or VB.Net for PC programs. Just dabble and find what you like. I've personally programmed in Java, C++, C#, JavaScript, PHP, and many other, and still prefer VB.Net.

He probably seeking to say that you simply have to study programming approaches and good judgment, alternatively than languages. This relatively is foremost, too. For illustration, being competent to maintain a talk in 15 human languages doesn't suggest you'll write an excellent paintings of literature in any of them; and a relatively good written application is just like a relatively good written guide, in that it demands to have many components that are compatible in combination in non-seen however potent methods.

Demand in the job market will be for HTML5



Check out college degree courses to see what kinds are being offered. You usually need 3 or more languages to get a degree

I would recommend JavaScript for internet related things. But don't hack websites, it is illegal.
