I recently started with FreeCodeCamp and I'm making good progress through the basics. However, I've heard a lot about 'The Odin Project'. Should I stick with FreeCodeCamp, switch to The Odin Project, or complete FreeCodeCamp first before moving on? I want to know the best approach to learning web development and making real websites.

I think it’s best to finish FreeCodeCamp, then dive into The Odin Project afterward. Both are solid programs, but if you tackle one at a time, you'll have a more structured learning path.
I’d suggest finishing whatever you're currently working on before starting something new. If you keep hopping from one course to another, you might just get stuck in a loop and never finish any of them. There’s really no perfect course out there, and they all have their strengths and weaknesses.
But FreeCodeCamp has a lot of valuable lessons, right? I’m hoping to learn a ton from that first!
You can actually start building websites right away! Just pick a simple site you want to recreate and start with what you know. When you hit a wall, look for solutions to help you move forward. You don't need these courses to begin; they just help ease the process, especially The Odin Project with its focus on Git and Linux early on.
Sounds like a good plan! I think I’ll follow your advice.
