How to start learning Web Development from scratch?

1 pointsJoyBundle14d ago1 comments

I recently wrote about how I started learning web development from scratch and the mistakes I made along the way. When I first started, I spent a lot of time jumping between tutorials without really understanding the fundamentals. I want to know, how others here approached learning web development when they were starting out?

I think how one might've learned even a couple years ago vs. how one might learn now are somewhat different.

For me, and I consider myself still learning / non-expert, having projects I wanted to build combined with looking for ways to learn the fundamentals (mostly free online courses + books) and then leveraging AI to get unblocked and coached has helped. Of course, take AI answers with a grain of salt.

Harvard's CS50 MOOC is a good "learn how to think about programming" that quickfire introduces you to a lot of fundamentals and challenges.

If you want more structure and more courses, Frontend Masters has a ton of learning paths that are great as well.

I've also heard good things about the Odin project but have not personally tried it out.
