I'm a complete beginner. What's a good task to aim for when learning a programing language?

If there is room in your schedule, register for CS190 (2 unit). It deals with beginning programming logic and builds small software applications (games) in an easy programming language.

Is CS190 an option, or a requirement?

Any basic language or object-oriented can do some fun stuff like making Hang Man, Black Jack or a guessing game (which would be the simplest). If you're practcing website development then try to duplicate some things that people made on cheap 90's looking websites. Just look for local businesses that often have outdated sites and try to duplicate some of the features while playing with CSS and a tad bit of HTML.

 

Summary

For Java, I'd go with the games mentioned earlier.

C++ could do the games too but with more monotonous work as it doesn't function using classes like Java.

C# would be fun to do the games with, or any program with repetitive functions or a program that reacts to constant changes in input.

CSS and HTML stick to copying older websites' features. Bit by bit look at how they were written in their source code and try to recreate it.
