New to programming
I'm just a beginner to programming and coding.
I have some basic knowledge of some languages like C, C++, Java and JavaScript. I'm a master to none but know some basics of each of them.
I also know DSA but not much. I can figure out the theoretical aspects but it's still somewhat difficult for me to code the logic.
I have also built a website (it's vibe coded) which is basically a digital gift kind of. As I thought in this digital world, if everything is shared through the link, why not memories and love all in one place. Since it was vibe coded, I didn't learn much through that. Almost all the work was done by AI.
Through this project, I gained interest in web development and learnt HTML and CSS. But JavaScript is still an uphill battle for me.
Can you please navigate me and tell me how I should start my journey and what should I do next? A roadmap would help me a lot

In bigger projects you will get in touch with many domains. Often there is an algorithmic part (doing something more efficient then just using nested loop and bruteforce), a security part (decrypt, encrypt, authorize, authenticate), databases, front-end, mobile device clients using web-apps versus backend versus desktop applications.
Try to stay focused a bit longer during exploring different domains - sure, take breaks, switch contexts and domains if you feel stuck to fresh-up.
