For this, I re-learned HTML and CSS, and began to truly experience the joy of carving one's own space on the web, and the more I worked on my website, the more I learned about not only web design, but also web development, by dabbling in JavaScript, which became the first programming language I actually learned. {% disclosure "Side Note: First programming language I used" %} Technically, the first programming language I had ever used is NWScript, a scripting language based on the C programming language and used for the video games {% cite "Neverwinter Nights" %} and {% cite "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic" %} series, since I got into modding, including creating mods for the {% cite "Knights of the Old Republic" %} games before building my website, but I did not actually learn or understand programming concepts (such as variables, data types, etc.) until I started to learn JavaScript, so I do not count NWScript as my first programming language.
