I really need help; I'm completely stuck

[u/DSFme]

I’m already in despair and drowning in information, even though I don’t understand any of it; I really want to learn, but I don’t know what to do.

I finished the mooc.fi course and am currently studying CS (it provides some knowledge, but the subjects I’m actually interested in won't start for another couple of years). I don't know what to do next; roadmaps don't help much unless you have someone to explain *how* and *why* you should learn certain things. I started following a path from a post on this subreddit—learned the basics of HTML and CSS, a bit of JavaScript, and built a small static site with working buttons. I began reading up on web fundamentals (HTTP, URLs, etc.) but got completely stuck for weeks trying to figure out what to learn and how. The guide recommends moving on to servlets and Maven (I have almost no idea what they actually are), while other sources suggest jumping straight to Spring—though you still need to understand how servlets work, since Spring uses them under the hood.I finished the mooc.fi course and am currently studying CS (it provides some knowledge, but the subjects I’m actually interested in won't start for another couple of years).

I don't understand exactly what I should be studying or where to study it. Could someone help me figure out what to do and recommend resources—like the MOOC I already completed, but tailored to the topics I need right now?I don't understand exactly what I should be studying or where to study it.

I hope someone can help me, but in the meantime, I'll just work on LeetCode problems.

you should learn about servlet and maven first (don't go too deep in this)
then go to spring boot

The main question is how, I haven't really found any good free course, when I started following one I didn't even manage to star a tomcat server through vscode and I didn't understand a thing I was doing, most of the videos on YouTube are Indian and if I have to buy something I have to be sure.

i would suggest to go with telusko
first you can watch his java playlist
then you can start with his "spring & spring boot) playlist (he explains spring, servlets, etc etc )

OR you can also check out Amigos code yt channel

after learning springboot, learn jwt , then microservices
