So far in my career able to do ok just by doing backend development, but now a days looks like you are expected to be full stack engineer esp in
product teams to be impactful. I tried doing basic web dev courses from youtube, udemy but lose interest with those long hour courses. Any suggestions how can someone who didn’t do any FE(don’t know basic html 😀) to pickup UI development? Resources, where to start and how to stay interested to build something from starch. Thanks!

      At each step along the way google it. Choose a framework first; probably React.

  • HTML then CSS (learn Grid system and Flexbox)
    After this try to build 1 page portfolio static Website using all the css you learnt (for Computer screens, need not be responsive website)

    The you can learn Bootstrap to create a responsive website.

    Then you can learn ReactJs/Angular whichever framework your team/company uses.
    Then build a weather app using this framework.
    (Use some external APIs to fetch weather details)

    I do mainly back end services. It's hard. I wish I did front end. I'm stuck like you though I keep slacking. The Odin project is good though.

  • You may just have to suck it up and deal with the long hour courses.

    If you prefer reading docs, the link below may help
