Google's Web Fundamentals course teaches the foundations of modern web development: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, responsive design, and web performance. It's a comprehensive free guide on Google Developers that combines tutorials, best practices, and interactive examples. After finishing, you understand how the web works and can build responsive, performant websites. The course is broad but not very deep. The main limitation: this is a reference and tutorial collection, not a structured course with projects.
Web development skills are the most in-demand tech skills, with over 85% of companies hiring web developers (source: job market analysis).
