Starting off your development journey can be quite daunting and overwhelming. Therefore, I will leave the words that helped me through the first stages below and hope it does the same for you.

“When action grows unprofitable, gather information; when information grows unprofitable, sleep.”

WEB DOCUMENTATIONS

MDN Web Docs

Formerly referred to as Mozilla Developer Network. This docs has been a companion through and through and will never let you down. Never lacking in information.

w3schools

I refer to this resource as the most simplified, direct, and concise. Amid the confusion,w3schools will be your best friend.

CSS Tricks

As the name implies, it contains guides for CSS. However, it covers different parts of development apart from CSS like javascript, HTML, etc.

ONLINE COURSE PLATFORMS

codewithmosh

codewithmosh is a platform where you can take courses from beginners to advance levels. I particularly like it because it’s straight to the point and does not fail to teach best practices while being direct. If you are also a fan of learning using videos, this will be great for you.

udacity

I recommend udacity because of my experience while learning version control. It was a swift and in-depth study resource.

OTHERS

Some other pointers to get you set up include;

• Always ask questions until you clearly understand.
• There is nothing wrong with asking for help. Over time you will realize you can hold some weight on your own.
• Be ready to continue learning. It never ends.
• Find a specific area and excel.
