W3Schools is the best resource in my opinion for absolute beginners to follow through.
If you’re more into videos than write ups then I’d recommend colt steels web developer Bootcamp on Udemy.
Either way, some tips:
Don’t rush past topics, really get to grips with them before moving on at the start
Start with languages before thinking about frameworks or libraries
For frontend, do the following order and be comfortable with each step before moving forward: HTML -> CSS -> JavaScript
For backend, don’t get overwhelmed, pick a single language that you personally seem to like and learn the basics before moving onto more advanced topics like databases and APIs.
Bonus tips:
Once you have the basics down, learn TDD (test driven development) as this is a very important topic for professional developers
Don’t be afraid to ask questions, someone will always help but make sure you try first and post what you tried with the question, no one will do the work to help you if you haven’t tried yourself first.
Decide if frontend or backend is more interesting for you at the start and focus on that one first, don’t do too much at once if you can avoid it because you’ll probably overwhelm yourself in the end like that
