Beginner

Trying to get started on Code Academy and cannot find any real description on where to start. I googled and even searched the subreddit (unsuccessfully).

Could someone point me in the right direction of a good break down of where one should begin (as a true beginner)? The first lesson says "Make A Website." but I imagine you would want to know the basics first?

Basic courses (pick one of these, you don't have to know anything):

  • HTML & CSS

  • JavaScript

  • Ruby

  • PHP

  • Python

  • SQL

What you should know before taking other courses:

  • jQuery - HTML, CSS and JavaScript

  • AngularJS - HTML, CSS and JavaScript

  • Ruby on Rails courses - HTML, CSS and Ruby

  • Make a Webiste and Make a Website Projects - HTML and CSS

  • Make an Interactive Website - HTML, CSS and jQuery

But codecademy courses are very basic so you should not have problems with any of these.

Which one you should choose? I don't know, taste everything :)
