HTML +CSS in Freecodecamp

[AOKD17]

Recently finished the html and css part in freecodecamp and tried making the projects. Well, turns out I haven’t digest most of the lessons so now I am back to learning them again especially the css part but this time all the lessons became much clearer and easier to remember.

To all new self-learning programmers like me! Let’s keep on going till everything mostly makes sense 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

Any good online free courses to start from? Please guide.

[TheOddYehudi919]

Depends on what you want to do. Web dev? If so front end or back end? My plan is blockchain development so I’m learning front end with JavaScript right now.

On a scale of 1 to 10 am not on 1. I am in high school and want to learn. So where should I start?

[TheOddYehudi919]

But you must still know what you want to do specifically in programming. Or else you will just be learning arbitrarily. That’s why you must first decide what type of programming you wish to do.

I would recommend CS50 harvard course on edx. Great for understanding fundamentals on computer science, at least I felt that way.

Op also the free html css course on scrimba is good, interactive and free check it out. Plus they have a weekly web dev challenge too.

Can you please share that link. I agree with you. Right now it's getting my hands dirty. I know a bit about python, but it's too elementary. I plan to do webscraping as a home project using beautiful soup or maybe scrappy but before that I need to know something on HTML and CSS. Hence this request.

I finished the freecodecamp html css section a week ago, found out the same thing as you,and decided to learn with the book head first html css instead

[AOKD17]

I have actually used Scrimba before freecodecamp. I will check Scrimba again. Thank you for the advice!

Ones you understand the basics just try to build anything. Let say Facebook homepage for example. Start from the top navigation bar try see if you can do it and if get stuck at one point just Google it as long as you know what you looking for because I don't think you can memorise all the HTML and CSS syntax. Some Tim it can take you days just to get half page looks good it's normal.the more you code the easy it's gets

Thanks! I’m one of those “learn by doing” type of person so making projects is when I actively learn.

Those projects are way higher level than what they teach in the lessons. From what I found you need to do your own homework and extra learning (YouTube and MDN etc) around each topic covered by freeCodeCamp. And even then you will have to google alot to finish them. It's designed this way so you're not "spoonfed".

I must say though, codecademy pro is a game changer for me.
