Start Your Coding Adventure ⚔️

Written by Melissa G | Sep 12, 2025 12:11:28 AM

Every great story begins with a choice. Which path will you take? Where will your journey lead you?

When you step into the world of coding, there are many paths to choose from. Which one is best is up to you! For example, one path may lead to building websites, another to crafting games, and another to backend systems. The best part is your coding journey is YOURS. There’s no one “right” answer on what to learn first or what is best for you.

Similar to opening a well-worn fantasy map during a tabletop adventure, there’s no telling what will happen along your journey. Your choices, the connections you make, and how high you roll are all factors in how your story unfolds. 

That may sound a little overwhelming in a sense, but don’t let the pressure get to you because here’s the good news: no matter which door you open, the foundations are much the same. Learning the core basics of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript is like packing your adventure bag with essential tools. They’ll give you a strong foundation to build on whether you eventually design pixel-perfect web pages, code interactive apps, or venture into more advanced realms involving backend data and servers.
