I am learning website development on my own by developing a website using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Currently there is no JavaScript used, as I am still developing and learning new things related to HTML and CSS. I am just at the beginning stage.

Actually, this is very interesting, as I am not learning a pre-designed textbook or YouTube videos. I am actively building a website and learning from it.

I already used HTML templates and Hugo and Zola, like static website generators. So writing code was never harder, but implementing features or arranging screen space is a big pain.

I know the site looks a lot uglier, but before it was more ugly and misaligned than this. At least I managed to make it like this.

Note:

The posts and contents on this website are converted from my Hugo site, which used Markdown format. The site link is provided at the footer, and the code is also on GitHub. The images are from Unsplash and Pixel sources.

These are great resources for learning this stuff. Even if you don’t want to go through in order, it’s easy to glop in to get clarity on anything you’re questioning.

    I feel like this website is a blight on my search results and is never what I want to see. They have stuff for all kinds of languages and it's usually outdated or not optimal or not idiomatic or just feels like AI slop before AI slop was really a thing. Copied and pasted crap from other places with no context etc.

    Huh, interesting. I’ve mostly used the html and css pages when teaching those, and I’ve found them to be perfect for beginners.

    I think I have a historical bad taste from many years ago. Some cursory searching around yields that many say w3 schools has improved markedly since I last thought I could rely on it.

    It used the W3 designation which lent it credibility it doesn't have, always showed up at the top of my results when I just wanted official documentation from python or MDN, etc. I'm guessing it's a fine resource for html/css/js now.

    Thank you. That site looks like a library for developers and programmers.

    Maybe it can eliminate my heavy notebook usage.

    Maybe it can eliminate my heavy notebook usage.

    I'd keep the notebook usage. For me it burns what I'm learning into my brain, then a quick reference to the book is all I need to remember the rest. Unless I've been away for 10yrs then it's all gibberish hehe
