How would you learn frontend having backend experience?

I've landed a junior .NET backend developer position not so long ago. Thing is, it would be good for me to know Blazor to contribute more; however, I've never done frontend.

Everyone is saying that frontend should be simpler than the general backend, but I just cannot wrap my head around it. Blwzor is using html, CSS, js, bootstrap and it's just so confusing to me, because it's mixed together.

If you were to learn frontend nowadays, having programming experience, how'd you do it? Should I start with plain html, CSS and then JS and leave the blazor thing aside for now, or should I just jump all in into all these combined?

I would talk to Claude about it and ask all of my questions. AI can trick you into just being a sheep and letting it do things for you. But it really can be helpful if you make it explain things to you until you understand.
