I just started web development and I'm about to go completely insane.

S.O.S SAVE ME

Welcome to devRant ...

What are you working on???

@Kro9k

I'm working on a portfolio website. I use to know html in high school but that's all forgotten and easy for me to learn again but CSS and JavaScript are just killing me.

Download webstorm immediately.

@Flukz installing. How good is it? I've been using Atom.

@Keno atom is actually pretty good, but i love webstorm i used to hate writing js but webstorm is so good that i quite enjoy​ it now

@Flukz thanks man. Do you recommend any tutorials or online courses? I'm using Treehouse but it's kinda annoying

Don't scream.. Let the warm embrace of js madness wrap around you. Give in yourself to the css insanity!
See you on the other side...

W3school and codecademy are 2 awesome places to learn more.

@dreik dear mother of god...

@Keno oh and if you're still learning, i wouldn't recommend using an IDE, just stick with a text editor like Sublime or Atom.

@austinkregel @dreik thank you all for the advice! I feel Atom is pretty good I'm gonna try Webstorm.

@Keno
you can use the help of sites like codeacademy..
See it for yourself you'll find it useful and will make it less of a hair pulling job...

@austinkregel i like php storm too! Quite good. But i just recommended it because when i started writing JS the autocomplete and recommendations that webstorm gives make your life much easier, in my case it was easier to learn. @keno i agree w3schools & stackoverflow of course are great places to learn

Personally I really like Visual Studio code, because you can really make it your own and the extensions are easy to install. I'm doing an Angular project with it and its been fantastic!

Its also got great plugins for Jasmine/Karma unit testing! But thats also just me since I do DevOps/Test Engineering :) good luck, friend!

@KittyGainz @KittyGainz thank you!

@Keno depending on what OS you're using...I use Fedora Linux, and I quite enjoy Builder. Also, as far as a good place to learn , SoloLearn will issue certificates for free and does pretty good with their tutorials. You will have to learn a little past them though. But they also have challenges where you challenge other programmers and a code playground where you can save and have your codes rated.

Some advice about web development:

1) Don't do web development
2) If you overlooked number 1,
abort mission

I absolutely love web development. I struggle to comprehend why so many people dislike it

Yup it's impressive till the client side....
After that you get to hear what is not impressive in it :)@Twelia

Yes go ahead... your IDE will solve everything... (irony)

Just started? Wrap your head around html/css and you are fine. The cries and suicidal thoughts will begin when you start making web apps
