I'm currently learning HTML and CSS through a YouTube course, using MDN as a reference. I also take notes to help me remember what I've learned. However, I'm curious if there are more efficient methods or if my approach is already solid?

Your current approach is already solid! Combining MDN and building projects is super effective. Just make sure not to get too caught up in watching videos. Challenge yourself to recreate layouts from scratch without looking at the tutorials—that's when things really start to make sense! Plus, focus on coding daily instead of only taking notes.
FreeCodeCamp is another excellent resource for learning. They have a structured approach that really helps.
YouTube and MDN together are a great mix! I’d suggest also building small projects while you learn. Recreating simple landing pages or components can teach you a lot more than just watching videos alone.
I totally agree! I try to code something every time I learn a new concept. So my flow is: watch a YouTube course, use MDN for clarification, jot down notes, and then build something myself.

Absolutely! But I find text-heavy resources a bit boring. That’s why I prefer the FreeCodeCamp YouTube courses.
