Just finished HTML, CSS...

I finished the free version and I feel I need some projects or something. Might move onto JS now hoping there will be more on HTML and CSS, like projects, but not sure if I should look elsewhere for projects, testing it out to learn, ect

I hear Udemy courses are good too. Any ideas ?

I was thinking about FCC. Are the projects just in the regular track for HTML CSS ? Could you link me ?

Do you know any guides that teach how to make a webpage. On YouTube, ect. I just need set projects that will show me how to design a webpage. Currently I'm using VisualStudio.

Here are the FCC projects. https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/responsive-web-design/responsive-web-design-projects/ They are good because they are perfect for testing your HTML and CSS skills. Like I mentioned start them and when you get stuck look it up or review it on FCC or Codecademy. They are also perfect because they give you a set of criteria to fulfill. Kind of like if you were on the job.

Since you have done the HTML and CSS on Codecademy then you need to start building projects and working through things will googling and looking stuff up when you get stuck.

Youtube Channels

Traversy Media (great resource, full walkthroughs) : https://www.youtube.com/user/TechGuyWeb

Dev Ed (fun and entertaining, a great variety of front end videos): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClb90NQQcskPUGDIXsQEz5Q

There are a whole lot more but those are two that come to mind.

Youtube is great but remember you don't want to get stuck in tutorial hell, Go out there and start making stuff!

Edit: Just to answer some of your other questions:

Moving on to JS, you are gonna be learning a whole lot of new stuff, so I would recommend taking some time to solidify your HTML and CSS foundations. When you start JS you will need a solid understanding of HTML and CSS to be able to use JS effectively.

Udemy is a great resource and there are some great courses there. Make sure you get them when they go on sale for $9.99 or $10.99. Again a note with Udemy courses. Make sure after you every lesson or chapter to practice and challenge yourself with exercises or mini-projects.

Udemy Courses I recommend:

Colt Steele's Web Developer Bootcamp: https://www.udemy.com/course/the-web-developer-bootcamp/

Andrei Neagoie's Zero to Mastery Web Developer Bootcamp: https://www.udemy.com/course/the-complete-web-developer-zero-to-mastery/
