The more programming languages you learn the easier it becomes to learn other languages?

is this true or false?

There is absolutely no doubt that the steepest learning curve will be experienced with your first programming language. However, programming concepts are very similar from language to language. Once you've mastered the fundamentals of one language, it's a matter of simply learning the semantics and framework of the next language. It should be noted that my comments above do NOT apply to mastering HTML and CSS. This is because these are not programming languages. HTML is a markup language and CSS is a language for styling that markup. These languages do not expose you to the fundamentals of programming concepts such as variables, functions, classes, conditional statements, expressions, looping constructs, algorithms and execution logic, etc. Therefore, learning markup and styling languages will involve their own learning curves, which are significantly easier than programming languages like JavaScript, C#, C++, Python, Ruby, etc. Hopefully this answer makes sense. ;)

i dont believe in that. i believe the more you "mastering" the same language, the other languages will come easier.

Agree. I find het more and more difficult to learn other language. My programming style is used to my favourite language. Going to learn an other language means that I totally have to change my programming habbits. Or I end up with a java program in c# style (not recommended) If I switch programming language I end up with tons of syntax errors. I think it is important to master 2 of 3 language which you use for current projects.
