I’m starting the freeCodeCamp Responsive Web Design Certification again, and this video is the intro to the full journey. On We Will Code, I screen record myself going through free online coding courses, explain what I’m learning as I go, and break down the concepts in a beginner-friendly way so you can follow along, understand the code, and build real skills instead of just copying answers.
This series will focus on the freeCodeCamp Responsive Web Design Certification, which teaches the foundations of modern web development using HTML and CSS. We’ll go through the course step by step and cover the basics of building real webpages, understanding HTML structure, writing clean CSS, creating responsive layouts, improving accessibility, using semantic HTML, working with forms and tables, learning modern layout techniques, and eventually building the required projects needed for the certification.
This course is a great starting point if you want to learn web development from scratch, build your first websites, understand how webpages are structured, or refresh your coding fundamentals after taking a break. Whether you are brand new to programming, returning to coding, learning HTML and CSS for the first time, or trying to rebuild your confidence as a developer, this series is meant to help you slow down, think through the code, and understand what is actually happening under the hood.
In this intro video, I also talk about why learning to code still matters even with AI tools becoming more powerful. AI can generate code, autocomplete code, and help you build faster, but it does not replace the need to understand how code works. If you do not understand the fundamentals, you will not know when AI is wrong, how to debug problems, how to structure a real project, or how to think like a developer.
