Looking for Advice on Learning HTML, CSS, and Java

One crucial point to remember: Java and JavaScript are not the same at all! They’re two separate programming languages. For your web dev journey, you’ll want to focus on HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the front end, and Java can be considered for the back end.

I suggest checking out The Odin Project for fullstack development; it's free and covers everything you need. It emphasizes hands-on projects, which is a great way to learn. Just a heads up, it took me about 3 months to finish the JavaScript section because I took my time with it; but honestly, the key is consistency in practice. As for AI tools, they’re mostly useful for those who don’t care about the nitty-gritty of coding. Real software development requires careful planning and understanding—so don’t let AI discourage you. It can be great for getting ideas, but relying on it too heavily might hinder your coding skills in the long run.

What do you want to focus on? Web development, app creation, or games? Since you’re starting with HTML and CSS, I assume web development is your goal. Remember, web development breaks into front-end (HTML/CSS) and back-end. You’ll definitely want to learn JavaScript for front-end work. Java's great for back-end, but it's a different beast from JavaScript. Let me know what exactly you're aiming for, and I can guide you further!
