If you want to start web development in 2021, you might be pretty overwhelmed 🙄.
Here I'm walk you through a handy roadmap to start web dev as a complete beginner.
Hold Tight 🦉
Okay, so first thing first if you want to start web dev, you are going to be a programmer which mean you'll write some code and for writing code you'll need a code editor.
A quick note ⚠
If you are going to use notepad for writing code, leave it right now. You are going to be a programmer, not a typewriter.
You need a code editor which designed for programmer.
A code editor not only help you to write code but also improve your programming experience.
There are lot of code editor and you don't have to try them all.
Try VS Code, the only best code editor.
Now, if you don't know thing you see on web are build upon three key element
HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
HTML , building block 🧱 of web page
Everything you see on web is written is HTML, like an image, button, text, shapes etc.
So start learning HTML which you can easily learn in a couple of week.
CSS , styling 🎨 the web_
After learning HTML, you're going to use CSS(Cascading Stylesheet)
CSS help to style HTML element like align them, changing font-style, background-image, color, position and much more.
It takes you 2-3 week 📅 to learn CSS, so you can build something with HTML and CSS 👨🎨.
JavaScript , programming 👨💻 the web_
Now, after learning HTML and CSS, you are going to learn the only programing language of a webpage.
JavaScript help you to make a webpage even dynamic.
It takes you 10-12 month to learn JS, so you can call yourself a programmer.
So what next
Now its time to build some project with all the thing you've learn.
Building project not only help you think like a programmer but also takes your programming skill to next level.
So, bang 💥 on your keyboard and get your hand dirty by building recipe 🍴 with programming.

What after javascript..?
Build projects with all the skills you've learn so far
Yeah, I am making projects.... But what after that.. I want to ask this..
Like I want to be a full stack dev
So far now you might have good taste of frontend. Then its good time to touch the backend as you want to be a full stack dev.
yeah, but still I think I need some professional work
so that the fear inside me to face the real issues can go away
Yeah that's usual , but if confident about the JavaScript skill , then there is nothing to fear about.
In fact i used to be like that , you know, pretty overwhelmed, but once you start , things become easier.
So i think , instead of thinking about the fear, it's good to give it a shot :)
Congratulations for web development journey
you too
