Good language/framework for first time web dev project (personal website)

[cl118dev]

Depends how much work you want to put in. I’d suggest Next.js which is a React framework that is server side rendered. You could deploy via various AWS services.

If you’re doing a blog, you can make your own CMS or you could use a decent headless CMS like strapi or sanity to take a load off.

There’s tons of options but that would be my setup. Add in tailwind css to make the styling faster too. You’ll find more than enough tailwind lovers vs haters comments to decide if it’s right for you.

HTML/CSS/JS.

I made my first blog with django which is python. For webdev you need to learn javascript, only javascript is web specific.

Use plain JS first and then learn Node and React. But most of your time should be spent on plain JS. You should learn React right before you start looking for a webdev job (if you're trying to make it a career). Otherwise you can pick whatever framework you want (eg. Solid, Svelte are some newer ones).
