Kit? IDE? What are we talking about, exactly?

The general convention is that Python is a good starting point, as it is a powerful language that is both rather easy to use, and teaches some good coding practices, however in my opinion, it is too high a level to start with. I recommend learning the basics with C and then moving on to a higher level language.

A good book for C: https://www.amazon.com/Programming-C-4th-Developers-Library/dp/0321776410
You can find online courses just about anywhere, but I recommend starting with edx.org , with tutorialspoint ( https://www.tutorialspoint.com/cprogramming/ ) as your guide on most C topics.

Damn,  I had my hands ona C for dummies book and left it. Also forgot it was python,  thought it was Java that was easy.  Once you learn python what can you accomplish?

 

Is it C that we use here or is html actually html?

Python is multipurpose, though it excels in scientific and website applications. Great when you need to build a robust program quickly. Great to learn programming, great to process data, works for games even, though it is not the best language available for it.

I would assume that this website mostly uses HTML and PHP, though I have no idea really.
