Good Resources to Learn Web Development Basics


What are some good books or online courses to learn basic concepts and fundamentals of web development?

I can use online tutorials and chatgpt to develop and deploy a full-stack web app. It’s quite easy but also annoying that I don’t understand what I am actually doing there. It’s a bit overwhelming, where to start? can you recommend something that helped you cover this broad field of knowledge?

I find MDN the best resource for learning the web from fundamentals up.

When you cook a dish, you don't need to know the chemistry involved to make something tasty. The meal is the measure. You can read recipe books eight hours a day. It won't fill your belly.

Same for web apps. Build something to do something you want to do. Knowing enough to make something is enough to make something.

You will never know it all. Nobody even knows what "it all" is. Good luck.
