Re: Electrical issues
I have been programming for a long time, so started out with all the ancient languages, like Cobol and Fortran. But by the late 1960s, C was everyone's favorite, and almost all languages are a subset of C really.
The main actions are looping and branching.
C is really easy, but has one aspect that seems to throw people, which is a pointer. It relates to the fact all memory locations which normally you give symbolic names to, can also be referenced by its address. For example, you can call a function, or you can de-reference a pointer containing the function's memory address. Not hard really, but all the proliferation of scripting languages, like Perl, Python, Ruby, PHP, Swift, etc., are just was to avoid C pointers. C++ is just adding a class grouping ability to C. So I can answer almost any question about any programming language in general, as well as html, css, etc. The ones I am worst at are the AI ones like Lisp.

Re: Electrical issues
I learned some BASIC in 1983, when I was 11 years old, and took another programming language about 4 or 5 years later. I don't remember what it was called, but it was divided into 4 sections. It wasn't until the late 1990s that I got into HTML and CSS.
I'm not familiar with pointers in programming, but it sounds like they're not as straight-forward as defining classes and functions and referring to them throughout the program. If C++ includes classes, I wonder why it took so long for someone to come up with CSS.
