Thanks a lot.

Admittedly, that site looks very intimidating to a complete noobcake.

Am I right in saying that programming is more of a general skillset? In that no matter what you learn, you're improving a skill which can be applied even to unfamiliar branches. Therefore, it doesn't matter what you start with or what you do, as long as you're improving. Much the same way as learning a foreign language; it doesn't matter what you do, the vocabulary and grammar is universal.
As opposed to something like dental surgery, which is extremely specialised.

Sorry if my questions sound naive. I'm conditioned to have a highly specialised and clinical way of seeing the world.
