Welcome to the forum @ucmichael93 Start with the first certificate, then work your way down the list. > **[freeCodeCamp.org](https://www.freecodecamp.org/)** > > Learn to Code — For Free The basics of web development start with HyperText Markup Language, Cascading Style Sheets, and JavaScript. From there you explore Front End Development, then Back End Development and APIs. freeCodeCamp then focuses on Python for the remainder of the certificate courses. There are many career pathways in web development. Some focus on the front end, others the back end, then there are full stack developers. Your path will depend on what aspects interest you. Try searching on the web for `web development pathways`. Happy coding ---
