I'm wondering if I should dive right into learning JavaScript now that I've got a grasp of HTML and basic CSS, or if it would be better to create a few small projects using what I already know first. A lot of people suggest that it's best to learn HTML, CSS, and JavaScript before moving on to building projects. I'm feeling a bit confused about the best approach, so I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Working on complex forms can be a great exercise and help with both responsiveness and UX. Maybe try building a profile or travel experience form; it'll definitely get you thinking creatively while sticking to HTML and CSS for now.
It's a good idea to build a simple responsive landing page with just HTML and CSS first. Something straightforward to get a feel for it before jumping into JavaScript. That way, you can focus on the basics without getting overwhelmed.
Definitely try out some small projects with HTML and CSS first! Websites like Frontend Mentor have easy challenges you can use. They’re a great way to practice your skills without the added complexity of JS right away.
I recommend splitting your time between learning and doing. Spend half your time on new concepts and half on small projects. You'll learn a lot just by applying what you learn as you go!
Try making a project first with just HTML and CSS. Once you're comfortable, you can start learning JavaScript and see how you can apply it back to that project you made. It'll help solidify your skills!
Thanks for the suggestion! I love the idea of using Frontend Mentor for practice.
