      @@i_was_poisoned9135 I’m a full time software developer and use html and css quite a lot. Being able to understand the basic concepts of web development will go along way. Especially when it comes to building a portfolio webpage to show off some of the cooler more interesting projects that you may of done. Plus web dev is one of the most beginner friendly ways to learn to code. Uses multiple languages (html, css, is) + loads of different frameworks to play with and then mix them all together to get an end product. Also some of the highest paying jobs of web dev related since there is such high demand right now!

    What people need to understand is that the business has full rights to whatever ideas and projects you create using their website tools. And you are not liable to any compensation should they redistribute your idea and make a profit from it. Which I believe is part of the reason the subscription fee is so cheap. Basically it’s a company that’s created a resource that serves as a fishing net for talent and ideas. Which is nothing wrong, but if you’ve got a big idea don’t develop it by means of the website. Think of another project that you’re happy to not have ownership of that will allow you to learn at the same time and build credibility.

    Im on the full-stack course on codecademy and on my way to complete the front-end part.
    I can say that this is very budgetfoul and seems to be great when u start, but when things get more complicated you just lost yourself in a mess without a teacher who explain where u are and what u should do.
    I got used to watch other free courses on youtube and without them i couldnt even finish projects on codecademy.
    No doubt about the difference between a course like this on and a teached one, im saving money but losing time and understanding. I wanna see if i can go on like this becouse im saving A LOT of money BUT im afraid about things get even more complicated than now.

Then CSS & JavaScript so u hv all that's needed to build a website under yr belt. This makes u more comfortable looking at codes and understanding it..before moving to the hardest C++. Then from C++, learning any other language would be easy. Just my 2 cents.. Happy Coding :)
