Facing some difficulties to get started with web development in 2021? I think I can help you

🧵👇🏻

There are so many latest evolving trends and sub fields in web dev. So don't be overwhelmed, just focus on one thing at a time.

Start with HTML....

Let's go 🚀

You have picked the right field for you. It's interesting, amazing and challenging. You will enjoy it a lot once you get used to it

I have been doing it for little over one year and in this thread I will try to explain how you can start it

{ 3 / 19 }

I started it with a little coding knowledge but you can start it with 0% coding knowledge as well.

There is no problem to start it without prior coding knowledge

{ 4 / 19 }

Three basic language you need to learn

- HTML
- CSS
- JavaScript

I suggest you to start with free tutorial on YouTube or somewhere else

{ 5 / 19 }

I'm not going to post a particular video link here becasue IMO everyone has the different way of explaining things

So just search `HTML Tutorials` on YouTube, watch video for 10-15 minute, if things make sense, stick around else switch to other video

I am sure after switching to 2 - 3 videos, things are start making sense to you.
Initially, it might be little confusing so don't forget to take short notes. It can help you in future

While learning HTML and CSS, it doesn't matter that you have some prior coding knowledge or not.

These are two pretty intuitive language
HTML operates on tags whereas CSS operates on properites - values pair

After you spend 3-4 days on HTML, I suggest you to move onto CSS. Though, HTML is deep but as you progress further, you automatically come to know about various tags and attributes

{ 9 / 19 }

Start with CSS in the similar fashion as you did with HTML.

Start with a free crash on YouTube and follow two important documentation website along with it

1. w3 schools
2. MDN docs

{ 10 / 19 }

You can literally improve your coding skills by writing code.

In order to write code, you need an editor. If your machine has enough space you can download VS Code else you can start writing code on free online editor

{ 11 / 19 }

VS Code: code.visualstudio.com/download
Online: codesandbox.io

{ 12 / 19 }

You can create amazing website using HTML and CSS only.

So before jumping onto JavaScript you should create some projects in the form on portfolio, landing page or some static site.

{ 13 / 19 }

JavaScript is used for adding some behaviour in website. It's all about logic building

So if you have some prior coding knowledge then it will be helpful for you to start with it. Because you already knew what for loop is? what are conditional statement? etc...

{ 14 / 19 }

I suggest you to start JavaScript with freecodecamp full course.

Web development is all about exploring things by own. There are a lot good documentation, article, videos, books, etc for grabbing knowledge even for free

{ 15 / 19 }

JavaScript is little harder than HTML and CSS but it just the matter of practice in my opinion.

Sometimes you will get your desired result in one go whereas sometimes you will end up spending days on a silly error.

{ 16 / 19 }

Just remember HTML, CSS and JavaScript are interconnected

- Learn HTML
- Then learn HTML and CSS
- Then learn HTML, CSS and JavaScript

{ 17 / 19 }

Create projects while learning, by doing so you can literally speed up your learning process and you can relate things more effectively and accurately

Compiling my thread, I just wanna say that just start, the path will start appearing itself
