Should I attend the HTML, CSS, SVG courses recommended by Craig, given that my intention is not going to be web designer

Learning the basics of CSS wouldn't take that much longer either, however CSS does become slightly more complex which is something you'll realize when you start the CSS courses (I say complex, but still pretty straight forward!)
I'd say learning these languages is worth it, regardless if your intention is to become a web designer. Let's say down the road you have made a small game and wish to make a website for it? In fact, certain situations may arise where you need to at least have a basic understanding of HTML/CSS, so learning them wouldn't hurt.

Courses Plus Student 2,898 PointsBTW, I've learnt CSS, HTML before. I spent totally like 4 hrs learning both of them, so I can read HTML,CSS code despite the fact that I can't write those code because I forgot half of them.

This project is a great example. Java is a more complex language, but you still need to understand the basics of HTML and CSS.

Courses Plus Student 2,898 PointsTotally agree. I was just worried about my learning schedule as I have to gain "some Swift development experience" within one mouth. It will be so convenient if I am able to test out some small game, application by my own. I think I will rush through those courses. thanks a lot
