EEPROM?
Also this is probably the wrong sub for this question, try /v/electronics if there are still readers.
Comment on: How do you usually read programming books?
I prefer them as ebook, since I usually don't read them cover to cover, but by control-f.
I generally don't like copy paste of code.
Comment on: Could you reduce file size by treating it as a number and dividing by two?
Not without using information. You would save a bit, but you'd have to store it if you wanted to get the original back.
Comment on: Brand new and feeling kind of ridiculous right now. Could someone help?
You can use notepad++ for CSS as well. I can't tell you how since I've never used it, but it shouldn't be hard to figure it out; it probably even self detects.

HTML & CSS isn't programming, it's markup.
For a beginner I highly recommend a good text editor with syntax highlighting (like notepad++ for example). This way you'll actually learn what you're doing and not just click around until you get what you want without knowing what's going on behind the scenes. An editor and a browser is all you need, the browser not only for testing your site, but also for the reference and a search engine.

I'll go with C. But it's not a big difference.
Comment on: C or C++: Which is the language you prefer?
Depends on the task. Programming languages are tools and for best results use the best tool for the task.

Comment on: At what time would a sane person bitshift a signed integer?
Some programmers like it to multiply and divide, but I call that bad style because it's less readable.
But when you have to fumble with bits and raw binary data it has its uses where it is more readable.
Comment on: At what time would a sane person bitshift a signed integer?
When doing low level stuff where single bits are important. Like micro-controller programming or dealing with a stupid bus.
For anything high level it's less readable and no performance gain since the compiler does it anyway.
Comment on: How do i start my Software Developer path.
The best way to learn is by doing. Create a small project and code something you're interested in. This might be a dynamic website, or something on an Arduino or a calculator.
Comment on: Is this a good sub for programming help?
/v/ProgrammingHelp might be the sub you look for. But it is practically unused.

You don't need to be a master on the command line to start programming. But it helps a lot when you are able to do basic operations like browsing the file system, creating directories, copying and moving files, etc.. They are explained in the Appendix.
Other than that you need to be able to hanlde your text editor. Using an editor with syntax highlighting and line numbering helps a lot in finding bugs.
