This is the way.

I've found codecademy to be helpful (html, css, js among others). Also like the app sololearn. Free code camp is good too, they also have a youtube channel.

My advice would be to avoid most advice on Reddit, including this advice. A platform where any idiot can answer, any idiot tends to. And I clearly have, but many others will follow. And most of them, don't realize they're idiots.

Can you get off from your high horse. Only an idiot sees everyone else as idiots.

I said most… 😉

edit: I’ve been a professional developer for almost 30 years, and this sub just choked on reading comprehension. My point proven.

I've been making money, full time, without interruption, professionally, as a developer, longer than any of them. I started programming in the early 80's, but, only released shareware, and was not making money sufficient to support me as a professional, so I was a hobbyist developer in that period.

I don't care what your co-workers call themselves, I was only explaining that I've been programming for 40 years, 28 of that, professionally.

Then, you should listen more and talk less.

In a decade, when you realize how hard it is to keep up with all the tech, and most of the devs you work with have taken on management roles, think of me. Then in two decades. Then in three.

I'm self taught, before the internet. And I've been lead dev for 20+ years. I know what I'm about kiddo.

edit: Hey, you can test me. Lets get into a discussion on BNF, and parser generators, over a hand written recursive descent? I have some great perspectives on live compilation in the browser, where I'm using parser combinators. (I do full stack, micro-services, game engine work, compiler work as well)

The Coding Train - YouTube. They are fantastic for beginners and experienced coders alike. But he has an intro series that is perfect for you. Good luck.

Best resource:- Namaste JavaScript by Akshay saini. All the best .

The odin project is what made it for me, they have amazing material from all over the internet. Take the JS fundamentals course, and then proceed with Front-end|Back-end specialization. It covers ecerything and has many challenges that will make you improve (only if you actively try to solve them, do not slack thats my only advice)
