I need advices for my software development path

Question

I finished the "introduction to HTML" course in November and had to do the advanced tutorial in w3school. It took me 2 months to finish the advanced one and I feel so bad because everyone says that their advice is to not spend too much time on HTML, nor CSS. Now I'm doing the "introduction to CSS" course here in Sololearn and I'm afraid I will follow the same steps and spend too much time. Do you have any advice? I will start a 2 year software development course in September and I want to know as much as possible when I start it because I decided to be a software developer (I'm 29 and changing careers) but I think it might be difficult for me if I don't know the basics. Any idea of which free courses should I do? Please, help. I don't want to give up easily if I see I'm not good by the end of the first semester. 🥺🙏🏻

Answer 1

Lele it isn't about speed , it is about retention and proficiency , and practice, as well as, research where needed.

Answer 2

You're doing great There's no fixed timeline for learning what matters is understanding the concepts well. While HTML and CSS shouldn’t take too long, taking time to build a strong foundation isn’t a bad thing. I'm still learning CSS and Javascript and I have been learning it for a long time now
Learning never ends If you feel stuck, try combining learning with small projects to reinforce what you know.

Since you're starting a software development course, here’s a roadmap to help you:

JavaScript Essential for web development. Try Sololearn’s JS course it's beginner friendly

Git & GitHub Learn version control for collaboration.

Basic Programming (Python, Java, or C#) Helps with logic and backend concepts. You can pick just one like python for starters

Small Projects Build simple pages, then add interactivity with JavaScript.
I hope this helps you lele
