This structure is great and very similar to what I'm learning through Codecademy Pro. They have a Web Developer career path and it teaches you all these. It's been super helpful and easy to understand.

Hi @Habdul Hazeez,

Thanks for the posting! I started my coding journey back in 1994. I made a simple webpage, it was for the chat client "Virtual Places." One site grew to six sites that I created and maintained. Along the way learned some JS(1-1.2). I also dabbled with CSS(1), Java(mostly applets)and the defunct Jscript. By 2001, I stopped(could kick myself hard and repeatedly for doing that). Enter 2019, I was reading articles online a discovered what I was doing(and self taught)was called coding.

I then tried to break into IT as a Jr. Front End Dev. Didn't happen(it's coming though). The company referred me to another site for free training. Along the way I picked up some useful sites. Decided, the site wasn't for me and been using the useful sites.

To the best of my current knowledge, HTML is not phasing out, the web frameworks you mentioned Angular, React end up showing your page content in HTML, and it's up to you to add the CSS to make it more presentable.

And guess what?, the HTML Standard (or Specification) which is considered a Living Standard is updated almost daily (check the date in the image).

HTML Standard

Wordpress on the other hand is a Content Management System and like all Content Management Systems, your content (your blog posts and the likes) is shown in HTML and if i remember correctly, the editor in Wordpress permits the switch to raw HTML when writing an article.

When it comes to learning in web development, Dr Axel Rauschmayer has this to say:

The take away from the above image is to learn one core tech well, the last time i checked, HTML is one of the cornerstone technology of the World Wide Web alongside it's buddies CSS and JavaScript.
