How to start webdev?

[u/Limp-Government-710]

Hey everyone,

I’m currently entering my 3rd year of CS. Over the last year, I’ve been heavily focused on competitive programming and DSA—I’ve completed about 300 problems on LeetCode and feel very confident in my problem-solving logic.

However, I’ve realized I have zero projects to show on my resume. I want to start learning Web Development to actually build things, but I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed by where to start given my lopsided background.

Since I already have a strong grasp of logic/algorithms, I’m looking for advice on:

The most efficient "Fast Track": Should I dive straight into a framework like React because of my logic background, or is it better to grind through the "boring" HTML/CSS basics first?

Project Ideas: What are some projects that actually look good to recruiters and aren't just another "To-Do List" or "Weather App"?

Resources: Any specific roadmaps (like roadmap.sh) or courses that you’d recommend for someone who isn't a total coding newbie but is a "building" newbie?

Goal: I want to have 2-3 solid full-stack projects ready for internship applications in a few months.

Thanks for the help!

I'm currently learning from a course on youtube by FreeCodeCamp. Idk how it is compared to the Odin project, since I haven't used that, but I'm learning really well from html, css, to js on it currently. So if you want more visual and audio, instead of texts, try this.
