IMHO, FCC is good for practicing the syntax and mechanisms, but not really learning how things work nor the overall picture. I'm a "big picture" sort of person when learning; I want to know why and how it all works together, then I learn it better. Check out Youtube. I think HTML and CSS is best learned by watching and following along, then making on your own. Net Ninja pretty much has full courses on much of webdev. You can also hit up Udemy and get a course on sale. Colt Steele's Web-dev bootcamp is good (but I'd say, everything he teaches is a primer, prepare to spend 10-20X the time really digging into everything he goes over). More on reddit.com

I noticed MANY topics here are repetitive and MANY people having problems with (very basic) HTML and CSS tasks. now I believe this website is very clear with the tasks, but many people getting confused with the simplest tasks cause they have 0 knowledge of basic HTML element structures. so ...

I think it's important to just get the basics down, there's not much to HTML/CSS. I learned by W3Schools which goes straight to the syntax, which is pretty much all you need.

There's a lot of ways to learn HTML/CSS and most of them are valid: if something feels "right" then go with it, if it feels wrong then don't feel like you have to force it. HTML and CSS: Design and Build Websites by Jon Duckett is a commonly recommended book, if you prefer that avenue. Never used it myself. Some people say "just start making something and only consult resources to solve specific problems you encounter". While I definitely see the appeal in that method, it's not the one I prefer - I find if I just jump right into things I find myself roadblocked a lot. Then I spend hours wondering why something specific isn't working and I can feel my blood pressure raise 10 points. I like to either do a few hours of theoretical knowledge and then a few hours hands-on, or consult a resource while pausing to "try out" the material presented: a hands on method where the instructor tells me what to do. That way if I run into problems I know the teacher will probably help shine light on it. I'm currently doing Brad Traversy's course on udemy: Modern HTML & CSS From The Beginning (Including Sass). It's 21 hours of video of almost pure HTML/CSS (a tiny amount of JavaScript) and is relatively modern (this is important, even 4-5 year old resources show their age and as a beginner you don't know what's current and what's not). Here's his YouTube playlist if you want to see his teaching style. It has most of the content from his udemy course but for me it was worth the 15 bucks to have all the content in order and not worry about what to learn next: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLillGF-RfqbZTASqIqdvm1R5mLrQq79CU If you decide to go to the udemy route do NOT pay full price for a course unless you're loaded and money is no object: udemy's business model is the courses are usually like $130 full price but they very commonly have sales for $12-15. Just put something on your wishlist and wait for it to go on sale, you won't be waiting long. More on reddit.com
