It depends on what you're going into. If you're going to be a
programmer, you need to learn how to code. However, if you're going to
be doing hardware, you really don't need the software background.

That doesn't mean you can't learn about coding on your own, though. Who
knows - you may like it and go into an entirely different area.

I'd recommend sticking with html instead of going for xhtml to start.
Maybe start with www.w3schools.com for some basic html (php, also).
Keep things simple to start, and work your way up.

I'm sure there are other sites out there - for PHP the one I use most is
www.php.net. But while it's a great reference, it's not a great way to
learn the language, especially if you have no previous experience in
programming.
