OMG! Thanks for the story. It's so inspiring. We need such good news everyday


Fear is normal, though sometimes because of that fear i get too lazy to start to learn something new. So just think positive, nothing is impossible.

Maybe my advise isn't so good but i like to buy new pens and have some sweet stuff like chocolate. If i pass first hard part i can encourage myself with a bar of chocolate.


Sure, i already started form HTML, and it's so interesting!Thanks a lot.


No problem :) out of curiosity what do you currently use to learn web development? Something like Sublime or VS Code would be good options if you're looking (I recommend Sublime but it's up to you).


Thanks! I started from HTML, it's so interesting and not seems so hard by now. So i will follow your advice first HTML, then CSS, then JS!


Check out the book Head First HTML and CSS. It gives you a great foundation and is interesting to follow along the way.

Get a basic hosting account, register a domain, learn how to setup a website use FTP.

Next go through the book Head First PHP and MySQL, it will give you a basic foundation in forms and databases.

After that go through Headfirst Javascript, then Headfirst jQuery.

Signup for a github account, checkout ways to deploy websites without FTP, explore Vue and React.

At that point you could start learning frameworks like Rails, Laravel if you want to create web applications. Pick out something you need/would use, it will make it more interesting.

Good luck, enjoy the ride.


Thanks a lot! Now it's clear for me from where to start!Thanks for helping.


Thank you so much! Going to start from tomorrow morning. Wish me luck!:)


I will strongly suggest freecodecamp as well. Try to complete it without looking for solutions on Stack.

Alternatively, if you're looking for employment and you're in the countries where Lambda School[0] operates, that's a really great option for you to explore.

Front-end for sure!


Will start from HTML! Thanks


thanks a lot! seems so interesting! Can't wait to start


The book that changed me was All the light we cannot see by Anthony Doerr. This book was so beautiful and haunting.

Set in occupied France during World War II, the novel centers on a blind French girl and a German boy whose paths eventually cross.
