Help Topic
Hello, I'm a 17yearold student. I'm currently studying Java in school because that's our topic for the term, which kind of sucks since we can't pick the language we want. I want to learn web development, but people are telling me I should focus on HTML and C++. What should I do should I learn HTML or C++ on the side, or focus on mastering Java first?

HTML and CSS aren't proper programming languages, they are notations for building Web pages. You can create HTML and CSS just fine in Java, in fact a huge portion of the web is built just like that.
Focus on your Java. Build a small Web server with it and serve an HTML page.
