What is the most efficient (time and cost considered) way to learn front-end code with no prior experience?

  • As somone who do both, i would say just go through codeacademy for css and the rest you can learn by googling case by case.

    I say learn css formally because it is not very intuitive for someone coming from backend

      I believe the majority of people had been learning CSS wrong.

      You shouldn’t approach CSS like a programming language like many CS people often do. What I mean by this is that you start from learning the syntax and each of the rules.

      The right way to learn CSS is from a design first approach. You learn about layout, block formatting context, stacking context, layer composition, reflow, repaints, and extend into design systems. Then you build your rule vocabulary around those concepts. I believe this is the only way to make sense of everything.

      I would say learning CSS is really important but knowing CSS doesn’t help in interviews. Spend the majority of your time in JavaScript and practice coding JavaScript questions if your goal is to pass interviews. If learning, think of something you would like to build and start there.
