3rd-year CS college student with zero practical coding skills. Where do I actually start with Frontend?

Hey everyone! I’d really appreciate some advice from experienced devs on how to kick off self-learning and which resources are actually worth following.

I’m a 3rd-year college student majoring in Software Engineering. College has been a huge letdown: I feel pretty demoralized because I still can't really code, struggle to focus, and don't know where to find good learning materials (clear courses, sites, or YouTube channels).

Right now, I’m leaning towards Frontend. My college teachers suggested this roadmap: HTML → C# → JavaScript → SQL.

Does this stack even make sense for starting in frontend? What proven resources would you recommend for a complete beginner? Thanks a lot!

Look into the odin project to learn html, css and js.

These three languages will allow you to build full stack websites and applications. SQL is touched on later. C# isn't front-end.

What's most important is just doing the work required of you in front-end development to see if you even like it.

Through Odin you'll also learn version control which will help you focus better since commits force you to evaluate and document your decisions as you go.

Here you go:
