What is XML? Is it easy to learn?
To me XML is off the track for graphic design.I see XML as script.Graphic design would be Paint Shop Pro,Photo Shop and so on.Do you have work that you've done to show the employer?Don't give up on computer graphic design it's big!
How hard is it to learn to write HTML or Develop Software?
If you are just starting out, I would recommend Java to be the programming language to learn first. If you want to create websites, learning HTML is very easy. In addition to html, I would recommend learning css and javascript. All this can be learned online. HTML: http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp Javascript: http://www.w3schools.com/js/default.asp css: http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp to learn java, I bought this book: "Sams teach yourself - Programming with Java"
