This is a really useful guide. I would also recommend you to start with HTML, CSS , JS and PHP. You could also for example use Python with the Django Framework for server logic instead of PHP depending on what you want to build. Django and Laravel are in my opinion the best Backend Frameworks for solo developers. First start the website design with HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Then learn how to interact with servers with PHP or Python and connect your Website server logic with your website design. I prefer MySQL over MongoDB but MongoDB is also widely used and can be used without problems.

Hi guys, I am a freshmen from college who majors in Physics. Even though my course is not aligned with coding, i really want to learn it hoping i can make my own website in the future. Do you have any list on where i can get coding courses for free? and suggestions on where should i start first.

Start with freeCodeCamp or any basic HTML/CSS/JavaScript course. It does not really matter which one, just don’t get stuck in tutorial hell.


Learn the basics and then go straight into practice. Try to build your own simple website, or even better, find a small real task/job and try to complete it, even if it looks harder than your current level. You will learn much more from struggling with a real project than from watching endless videos or solving LeetCode for months.
