HTML simply doesn't have the functionality for diverse creation of 
"programs". That is as simple as that. It does not have simple base 
features necassary for data handling and variables. This is some of the 
basic things that is definitive in programming and you really don't have 
that at all in HTML. As for Javascript, PHP and other fairly advance 
script languages - I am rather impressed as they push the envelop on 
scripting to the point where the line is extremely close and in cases 
surpassing several early programming languages.

If you like to look at some PHP stuff, I'll show you but you'll have to 
wait until tomorrow. There really is no easy way to write a definition of 
what a programming language is. It is alot and often will get so indepth 
and complex that you as a reader would be tired of reading the definition 
after the first two paragraphs. So they provided as rather generic and 
often misleading definition. Programmer know what is meant by experience 
not what is exactly said. Programmer have connected the gesalt 
definition.

In short words the definition that was provided really lack resolution 
and coverage and better fits the definition of computer languages and not 
really perfect for "computer programming languages". Just one word can 
define things a bit.

The guy simply seems to me a bit ridiculous and is tiresome and when 
trying to explain it to him in 25 different ways of saying something it 
will get irritational. So you can see my patience with him is rather 
pushed thin.

Why do you think I say it will take 2 years because I would have to 
explain each terminology and this will lead on through a maze of 
terminologies and teaching him programming. This simply is based on his 
lack of knowing the difference between a markup language and a computer 
programming language and the lacking of knowing the difference between a 
program and a web page. This is exactly based on his messages. 

I simply hope he does has more intellect than this. He is acting like 
Matthew Montchalin with his thick-headedness.
