Advice Regarding Full-stack Development & Beginner Freelancing

w3schools is non-subjectively, still at this date (2026.), one of the worst websites related to development still alive on the internet. Given that, the entirety of your comment can be disregarded by that point alone.

Exactly. This w3schools site is nearly as bad as its popularity.

https://roadmap.sh/roadmaps sums it up pretty decently. Asking if you can start "today", is quite a strange question without knowing how many hours, years, have you spent in the field. If you created successfully several working and useful systems, applications, and have hundreds of other mini experiments under your belt, sure, you might be ready. Again, hard to answer properly. A bit personal but, I started after having created for fun 6 websites (and many utilities, tools, games, libraries). One day a vendor gave me a businesscard. Noticing there was no domain with a proper email and website, I just asked if they needed one. There are also many nonprofit org. that do need some sort of help as consulting or software development. Take any opportunity even if it seems a hard stretch.

1. Programming. Programming, general programming first, and only then Web development.


2. Application fields of the sites you develop. No one will be interested too much in your Web development skills if your models of the application fields are not adequate enough or are not useful enough due to your limited knowledge of the work of your users.


3. Design. Web development is about the presentation. Everything is very important here, from correct grammar, syntax, punctuation, typography, and style to graphical design and cognitive psychology.

I think it was a great choice to start with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. HTML is literally (I think) the easiest programming language you can learn. There are a lot of books out there, but I mean, who reads books? I consider looking up problems online, or even starting with an online school like W3Schools. And of course, don’t be ashamed to use AI—it helps a lot—but only for debugging. If it writes the code instead of you, you’re not the programmer; it’s the AI. BUT before you learn it, make sure you understand the language’s capabilities. These languages are great for building websites or maybe even 2D games, but if you want to make applications, 3D games, or work with Artificial Intelligence, Python might be better for you. If you stick with webdevelopment, first learn how to run an html file, how the structure should look like, and program your first code! a great example might be a text(in a specific color and font) above a button, positioned in the middle of the page, and if you press that button, it gives you an alert.

Since you already have a handle on HTML, CSS, and Js, focus on making your code scalable, more interactive. Start with HTML and then go deep-diving JS.

My advice is learn the fundamentals of programming. After that, it doesn’t matter which language you choose.

Develop your portfolio. Now the market is crowded with AI tools, you might need to offer custom solutions or maintenance to succeed.

you can learn other programming languge if you want , and learn backend framework and frontend framework then you can be ready to work

Thanks a lot! I'll start building my portfolio soon.

Huh? Whats wrong with it?I literally almost learned programing there. It gives a lot of task to learn for a lot of languages, it's clean too and, whats wrong?
