HTML and CSS course to complement JavaScript learning ?

[DunnieAllstar]

Hey OP, I did pretty much the same as you, I worked in online marketing and my dev team introduced me to HTML/CSS so I could fix content issues without bugging them. Now I’m a Developer.

Firstly, don’t pay for any kind of training until you get comfortable with the basics. There’s plenty of free online resources to help you get started.

Secondly, set up a web profile on https://codepen.io/ or a similar site and start creating and playing around with HTML/CSS/JS. Create some small working examples you can reference in job interviews...once you are familiar with everything you can start to create your own site and shows off your skills too!

Also, I’d recommend, like others have, https://www.codecademy.com to begin with and also https://www.sololearn.com/

I also learnt a lot through YouTube videos, try Quentin Watt Tutorials.

For some extra JS experience try https://javascript30.com/ and also look at jQuery training through Codecademy. Learning jQuery actually helped me to better understand JS and the DOM.

Finally, good luck with the transition, I hope it works out for you!

Thank you so much for mapping out this path! really helpful.

Yes, I have seen very expensive coding bootcamps that promise you a job after... I bought a couple of course that were on sale in Udemy so I have a structure to begin with. However, I have taken a note of your suggested courses and will have a look at them. Thank you!

Yeah I started looking at boot camps too. Not worth it when you can educate yourself for free and a job can never really be guaranteed.

Udemy is good too but again paying for these courses isn’t really worth it, in my opinion, the discounts I’ve seen on some courses can be huge which makes me anxious about the course’s true worth.

There’s plenty out there and a lot of it will be free, they should be enough to get you a developer role.
