I would/did start with HTML. You could probably learn the basics in an afternoon. Then CSS, CSS is more difficult. It'll take a little while, but it's not very hard, you must know HTML well to understand CSS.

Build some simple static sites, and when you feel good about HTML and CSS, then move on to JavaScript. Important to know the DOM. Don't worry about any frameworks for a while. But you will need to learn some. I personally like Vue and Svelte, but it doesn't really matter, except when it might.

Don't rush to is frameworks, but if you're like me, you'll want to learn how to use CSS frameworks soon after you get CSS 😅
