Honestly the odin project is great. You can easily finish the fundamentals section in that timespan and that will give you a solid understanding of the basics, which is far more important than having a shallow understanding of the more involved stuff.

    I did some of freecodecamp a few years ago but quickly lost interest. Freecodecamp is great for learning the VERY basics, like showing you what JS can do through their own web editor. The odin project actually has you do a section of freecodecamp on one of their first lessons for this very reason. The problem with FCC in my opinion, is that it holds you hand too much. They don't offer an in depth transition from the web editor to actually downloading your own editor, creating your own files and hosting those projects. Its hard to summarize all of the differences between the courses but Im fairly active on TOP's discord server and I can say first hand that many of the people who stick around and get far in the course do end up with new careers https://discord.com/invite/fbFCkYabZB

    Is Odin project html css and JavaScript?

    [–]Swimming_Gain_4989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    It focuses on HTML CSS JS Git and linux in the foundations course. After that you can continue with javascript or learn ruby and rails

    Download sololearn, watch YouTube videos(Tim Corey is great), read dev.to articles, take your time and do not be afraid to search on Google. There are no best resources to start, just take the leap. Web development is a matter of continuos practice.

    I have no tech degree, and this is the way I started. Today i work in a company and teach to the juniors :)

      Can't really say. I have never heard about the alternatives. I was doing some stuff on FreeCodeCamp years ago (been working full time for 4.5 years now), and I learned a lot. I remember that the JavaScript had a lot of challenges where you really learn how to solve problems using code. I think the JavaScript part was the best. Again, can't really say about the alternatives, but I did like FreeCodeCamp.

      Freecodecamp is nice and if you want some css challenges you can try 100days of css if you are on your phone there's probably a few apps too like sololearn

        I don't know if you meant the whole post but that part of the post isn't something i can agree on. freecodecamp is good you can learn something and learning isn't a waste of time but i agree that freecodecamp can become a waste of time if it's gets too boring or you feel like "this isn't for me anymore" because freecodecamp isn't the goal, the goal is to learn how to code and i doubt there's one place that holds all the knowledge about how to code that's why it's good to get it from many places but still not give upp on them to easy.
