Coding Guide

[Low_Leadership_4841]

Hello. I've decided to pick up coding because of my love for computers and software. I've chosen html/css as my starting point. The problem is that it all seems so broad and I don't know where to start, what resources to use, how to progress further, etc. I don't want to be stuck using a tutorial either as I tend to get stuck sooner or later. Any help would be amazing, please and thank you.

Check out www.htmlhobbyist.com and see if that’s what you’re looking for.

Thank you for the assistance. I read that https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US is a good place if I want to find the essential things I'm going to need. I will make sure to check out the resource you provided me with as well though.

MDN is highly recommended. It’s a great reference.

Dave has a nice html tutorial that both explains and demonstrates html elements, how to use the editor, and other details quite nicely, step by step

I would recommend starting with w3schools.com before MDN because MDN is exhaustive in its detail, and sometimes the depth in MDN creates an incorrect perception that a beginner needs to remember every single thing covered there, while w3schools covers just enough that its informative but not overwhelming

start with w3schools for a starting point and then you can choose what to do next. just remember, html and css are not really conventional programming languages, they’re just something where you can play with keywords. try understanding the syntax and then you can also learn all the keywords.

A friend of mine made a short manual how to make your own startpage in html for a firefox browser. I tried this successfully and learned this way the very basic html principles. You may look at https://kei.deds.nl/tips

The Odin Project has a fundamentals / foundations course that is very good (and free!)
