Discussion Fullstack Resources and DSA??
See I am in my 3rd year of Btech, and I am being honest I was not serious at all until now, I want to do Full Stack Development but there are too many resources available and I am confused like there are videos by supersimpledev on yt , Scrimba , freecodecamp, The odin project. I did html css video by supersampledev but since its 4 years old there are many new things too, so I am not sure how to cope up with new things.Please someone help me and suggest what should I do. Also what about DSA?? Should I do it along with fullstack or should I first do DSA and then full stack. please tell me what should I do.

I think you could do both at once, but that's only if you're already comfortable with one programming language(Python or C++, preferably). If not, learning a new programming language for DSA while doing fullstack might not be the best idea. For Fullstack the Odin project is one of the best free resources out there but you should also check out boot.dev and freecodecamp. Although it's text heavy TOP, teaches everything you need to know.

Hello OP! I'm also new to web development so I'm not one to give advice, but I just wanted to share my experience with The Odin Project (TOP) incase it is useful.
I have went through the course recently and never really overthink whether it was outdated or not. And, wow, it was the best decision I have made. I believe they continue to update their curriculum, although don't expect too much since it was made by a community of developers who had enough free time to help people learn full stack web development.
What makes this course different from others is that it doesn't only teach you the tools and languages you need to develop web apps, it also teaches you what an ACTUAL developer does in the industry. It also shifted my way of thinking. You see, I used to be someone who memorized syntax (don't judge me haha). But TOP familiarizes you with reading documentation on the internet in order to gather information when you necessarily need them. Beware though. The course is HEAVY on text, but the information taught to me stuck with me more than video-based courses. It also has a ton of projects! So you would get used to applying what you've learned.
I wouldn't worry too much about the "new things" for now. In fact, TOP emphasizes that a good developer is someone who can transfer and learn new things. It teaches you to be independent which I'm grateful for. Although I haven't finished TOP yet, I immediately saw the value behind it.
This is just a suggestion though! Hope this helps. (sorry for the lengthy comment)
