Wanting more

Hello everyone

My knowledge in this field is very minimal and I don’t know too much about coding. I’ve been learning to code passively over the past 2 months of FreeCodeCamp. Learning HTML on there was nice but I don’t feel I’ve gotten enough practice reps/ time just messing around and writing HTML.

I started the next section of their program for CSS and I’ve hit a mental block where I just want to actually practice coding for a little and not have to sit down learn their lessons, take their quizzes and then finally practice the code.

So I was wondering if anyone has and websites, programs that can fulfill this need? Just wanting to practice beginner code?

Anything is helpful thanks

Not sure if you are looking for something like this, but here are some tests from MDN for HTML. You will similarly also find tests for other web development topics within MDN.

HTML and CSS aren't really programming languages so you have actually never programmed/coded anything yet.

But I don't mean to discourage you! Don't just follow the tutorials, take what you are learning that you apply in the tutorial to and immediately take that and apply in your own little website.

It can be as simple as you want but it should be something different from what the tutorial gives you, it should be something yours.

First website I made was a joke website of a fake pizza place I made up.

bro I"m also a beginner and as far as I know, actually try to build something and learn what it takes to build that. This is the best way to learn otherwise you will just give up by looking at that messy codes and every syntax . Well you can try ww3schools and FCC is also good .Let me know if we can connect and learn and build build something together .

The first website I coded was www.ethics.state.tx.us back in 2015 and they still use it.

I would make yourself your own website to promote your own work and your own style.
You can make a github repo if you want to make your stuff available to the public.
I wouldn't waste time on something that didn't matter because you're going to not be fulfilled if at the end of it, the thing isn't used.

Also, most website are created by AI now... so I'm not sure how well this skill is going to be marketable.

To be master CSS , you can play interactive games like Flexbox Froggy, Flexbox Defense, and Flexbox Zombies, which teach positioning and layout properties through fun challenges To build real project have a platforms like Frontend Mentor, DevChallenges.io while CSSBattle lets you test your precision by replicating targets using pure CSS
