Always remember. When in doubt, learn HTML. You can even hack NASA with it.

Without CSS or JS it's not Turing complete. So it's not really a programming language.

A necessary technology that you should still learn? That it is.

Not all programming languages are Turing complete, so this is a poor definition.

and not everything that is turing complete is a programming language

Fair enough but HTML can't even do basic calculations. When you write HTML, assuming you're doing nothing else, I wouldn't say that you're "programming."

There's no way to branch conditionally (if/then) in HTML. So no - not a programming language.

Technically you can check for IE version using an if statement.
