*DESCRIPTION*
============
If I had to become a web developer all over again in 2026, this is the exact roadmap I’d follow.

In this video, I’ll walk you through the right order to learn web development – from HTML and CSS all the way to JavaScript, React, backend development, databases, APIs, deployment, and landing your first developer job.

More importantly, I’ll show you when to learn each topic, what you can safely ignore as a beginner, and how to know when you’re ready to move on.

If you’ve been overwhelmed by endless tutorials, conflicting advice, or don’t know what to learn next, this video is for you.
