1st Month: The Big Picture

Big question to answer: How do computers, the internet, and websites work? How can I build a website?

• Understand the Feynman Technique and the Trunk Method for learning so you really learn over the course of the next 5 months instead of just using your short term memory.
• Throughout the months you will be building lots of projects. In order to help you, I have compiled a list of assets like free images, icons and logos you can use to make your projects look nice. Bookmark this
• How Does the internet work: this from LearnCode.academy and this from thenewboston.
• The best overviews of Computer Science: Crash Course Computer Science and Map of Computer Science
• Watch this to understand the full web developer industry so that you understand how all the skills fit together. When you first watch this, it will seem very confusing. At the end of the 5 months, watch this again and you will see how everything makes sense now.
• Follow this Harvard course on youtube. This is just pure gold from probably the best computer science instructor. No need to do the exercises. They do a new one every year but this one from 2017 is the best version of the lectures. If you have time you can watch the lectures from 2021 as well.
• How to use the command Line: this by Zed Shaw.
• How to build a website/get a domain/and have it up and running: LearnCode.academy video.
• How does HTML, CSS fit together: Watch this shorter playlist or this longer playlist. Or both if you have the time.
• Learn to build websites with Bootstrap. Start with this then go to the Bootstrap 5 documentation and add components you see there to a sample website. Understand the benefits that it provides vs writing CSS yourself. BUT don’t get stuck on this, because instead we want to focus more on the next two that are more employable skills:
• Learn how to use Flexbox. Watch this playlist and then go and do this 5 minute exercise. Now that you know Flexbox, go and learn CSS Grid for more website layouts. Then do this and this exercises. Build your own website layout from scratch.
• Understand how to use templates to build websites using free themes and templates.
• If you have time, you can do a few of the courses on the HTML and CSS Responsive Web Design sections at freeCodeCamp. It's 300 hours long so I wouldn't say this is the best use of your time but a nice thing to skim through.

THIS IS IMPORTANT: Don’t try and memorize all HTML and CSS properties and tags. This is a mistake I made as well. You want to start learning Javascript as soon as possible, which is the main part of being a web developer. No matter how “unready” you feel or incomplete your knowledge about CSS, move to the next part as you will be using HTML and CSS throughout the rest of the months. Trust me on this.
