Path to take if I was starting to code

Web Development.

Download an editor like VS Code. Learn HTML to know the basics of a web page and how it works. Create CSS to learn how to make my page look good. I would then learn some JavaScript to make the website interactive.

Most people don't learn JavaScript alone. They combine it with a framework. If your goal is to get a job, I would learn React. Otherwise, If I just wanted to enjoy myself, I would use Svelte or Vue.

Learn Backend

I would then learn backend to connect it with frontend. This will enable me to learn about user authentication, and file uploads. For my database, I would use supabase or the ordinary MySQL.

I would then use node.js or Java for my backend language.

When it comes to web development, the ocean is large and very deep. There are other technologies that one can use to build web apps.

Happy Coding!
