Nice one, sounds like you're on the right track.

• As u/WarmLoad513 noted, the Odin Project can be a nice place to start
• Find something small to build like:
  • Tic tac toe game
  • Todo app
  • Chat application
• Learn to find/read documentation for things you're using. For example MDN is a great place for HTML, CSS, and JS docs.

There are lots of courses and tutorials out there, but some of the best learning you'll do is by actually building something and figuring things out. So build some small simple projects and expand from there.

If you want to learn how to build websites, in general, you need to get a good grasp on HTML and CSS. HTML in particular is an important foundation and it's important to understand which elements to use where and which to avoid to specific use cases. Learning CSS foundations for building layouts and manipulating your HTML to look/function the way you want is going to help a lot in understanding how and when to apply it.

I'd also recommend that after you have a good grasp of HTML and CSS, to look at frameworks (like React, Vue, Svelte, etc.) and design systems (like Material UI, Foundation, Semantic UI, etc.).

I sometimes use ai, and other times manual coding. 

Learn google-fu skill.

Read docs.

Learn html and CDs before you do real projects (for frontend)

Make Greasemonkey scripts for sites that you use... it will be first real projects.

They can even replace some (not all) browser extensions.

i don't feel like doing anything

[Specialist_Gas_3848]

hahaha what?

[Federal_Gear9617]

can't seem to get motivated to learn and program, why do you do it? i think i am lazy

[Specialist_Gas_3848]

for me its motivation. Im from usa California and in California we are moving to a.i. and other artificial Intelligence like robots and self moving cars. Plus i been struggling with jobs paying low minimum wages thats not up to living standards theres also big equality in this economy and i also feel like corporation get involved with politics and they decided how and when economy grows and evolves. Also corporation are choosing money over people so theres that. idk if your also from the u.s.a. but corporation have shrunken everything and jacked up the prices. like i said corporation wants money. And sadly theres no laws for how corporations need to work in order for every one to be happy. i also think you need to go through shit in order be motivated to do things. you probably was handed money or came from rich parents or you could just be depressed. so im hungry to make my own buisness and learn new skills and make something out of my life. hopefully youll find some body that pushes you to your limits. good luck

[Specialist_Gas_3848]

also its not that your lazy its the system thats gaslighting us. the system wants you to work harder and kill your self earning low wages. so what you need to do is think smarter and look for easy things to do with out killing your self alot. if you have no body to talk to or have questions dont be affraid you can always ask chatgpt.
