Web Fundamentals (Google Developers)
20 hours 4.6(8,900 reviews)Free
Google's Web Fundamentals course teaches the foundations of modern web development: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, responsive design, and web performance. It's a 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.

HTML/CSS first. They're easier and foundational. JavaScript comes after.
