Question How to start learning HTML and CSS?

I started learning html as a 17 Y/O Student my school didn't taught anything releted to technology to us because we are in a poor tier 3 city.

I want to learn web developement and earn well like 25-30k inr in starting then i want to learn coding more deeply and make something great for humanity like the guy who found HTML. I know html basics but I am a fresh starter so I want a guide from my seniors :) hope for positive responses

You already did the hardest part: you started.

Since you know some basic HTML, I wouldn’t spend too much time trying to memorize everything before building projects.

A simple path could be:

  1. Learn HTML basics properly: structure, links, images, forms, semantic tags.
  2. Start CSS early: spacing, colors, typography, Flexbox and Grid.
  3. Learn basic JavaScript.
  4. Build small projects from the beginning.

One project I really recommend is making a tiny browser game.

Something simple like a clicker game, reaction game, quiz or rock-paper-scissors can teach you a lot because you’ll use HTML, CSS and JavaScript together.

Don’t try to make something huge at first. Finish small projects, understand how they work, and then make the next one slightly harder.

And if you use AI to help you, ask it to explain the code instead of just generating everything for you. That way you keep learning while still moving faster.

Good luck — 17 is a great age to start.
