Is it advisable to learn languages like ruby, Java without having a background knowledge of basic languages like html and CSS

Since Ruby is used a lot for web development it would be nonsensical to learn it without knowing HTML and CSS.
However since neither HTML or CSS are programming languages(they are a mark-up language and a stylesheet language respectively), you can be fine just learning Java, C++ or any other language that isn't primarily used for web development.

Yes. HTML and CSS are easy, so many recommend learning them first, but for some reason there's less great programmers who started with them than those who started with C.

HTML and CSS just teaches you to look at code, it doesn't teach you how to code

Jens-Emil Sønderup Müller Ruby doesn't have to be used only as Ruby on Rails. I feel like people forget Ruby exists on it's own. It's like Perl, but readable.

BlazingMagpie I know many other things are made in ruby, metasploit for example. However to my experience it is mostly used with Ruby on Rails.

depends what you want to do, if you want to ne a web developer, having that knowledge would be invaluable, you would know where to place your code and how to setup your web pages and make it pretty. however if you want to program for computer applications or operating systems, then it would be basically useless knowledge that wouldnt be used at all unless you were making a doc for your creation!

Ruby isn't an addin to HTML. It's full programming language for example like Python.
