But I don’t know where should I get started. Some say I should begin with C language, while the other says begin with BASIC. Please tell me which one should I learn initially, http://www.rosettastoneoutletnow.com/ and kindly also tell me what is the difference between C, C++, BASIC and what should be the correct order to learn all programming languages.

In our last few reviews, iOS has come head and shoulders above other device platforms as the best platform for HTML5 developers.”  But, I didn’t see and data as compared to the “other device platforms”.  Looks like you just compared it to the previous version is iOS.

I would have thought WebSQL in a Web Worker would be OK in theory, and I would expect the worker to scope the DBs according to the domain of the original main script.
