Hey everyone! I'm just starting my journey into web development and I'm seeking some advice on how to organize my learning path. My goal is to first become proficient in creating modern landing pages that look great and are responsive. After that, I want to dive into backend development so I can eventually build complete web applications on my own. I've checked out some resources, but honestly, it feels a bit overwhelming with all the options available. I'm looking for guidance on: 1. The best platforms or courses (free or paid) to learn how to effectively build landing pages. 2. What my next steps should be once I'm comfortable with frontend development to start learning backend. 3. Whether I should start with Node.js or if another language would be better. 4. Tips on how to practice effectively while learning both frontend and backend skills. I would really appreciate any recommendations or structured paths you can suggest. Thanks in advance!

For backend development, I'd highly recommend boot.dev—it's totally free! For frontend, look into Frontend Masters; it's subscription-based but really reputable. You might also check out Code Crafters because they focus on real programming skills beyond just frontend or backend. They offer courses that teach practical skills like building your own Git or HTTP server, but it's paid unless you're under 19, then you can join Hack Club for free.
Check out Free Code Camp and The Odin Project. They offer great learning paths that cater specifically to what you're looking to learn.
Thanks for the tips!
