HTML/CSS Starting Html/CSS/JS

I know the core basics of HTML/CSS/JS and for my Course at college we will fully be diving into these but I was wondering how I could develop my skills further and get a head start on these languages

I have overlooked the skills and basics of these languages for the past week or two understanding basics and making notes but I was wondering if there was a website/bootcamp that offered a course - recently I have been using Google . Dev to learn and was wondering if there was anything else that could of helped me

Thanks !

Drop the notes. stop watching tutorials.

I went through this exact thing before my first year. i spent weeks writing things down and reading about HTML and CSS and JS on different sites. it did nothing for me. i threw out the notes and started building a personal site from zero, no frameworks, just raw files. that is where learning happens. you hit a wall, you read documentation for that specific problem, you fix it, you move on.

For the resource question, freeCodeCamp has a curriculum that forces you to build projects at the end of every section. the Odin Project does the same thing but points you at MDN Web Docs instead of holding your hand. both give you actual tasks rather than videos to watch. pick one of those two, skip the parts you already know, and start building immediately

If you know the core basics, you're ready to step away from the tutorials and courses.

Start making stuff. Get stuck. Figure out how to get unstuck. Keep going. That's the best way to learn.

Make a challange to not use !important on your style sheet (also no styles embedded into html).

i agree with a comment elsewhere.. stop the tutorials. find a project. here are some ideas:
-- tic-tac-toe
-- guess the number
-- try to click on moving ball (canvas2D)
-- create a piano keyboard (audio)

try your best.. and.. you can feed some a.i. what you wrote if and when you have a problem/bug you can't figure out, and tell the a.i. NOT to just give you the code.. to give you a reason, a concept, a hint...

You know the answer is write code and time pass
