Web Development
HTML, CSS and JavaScript — the skills behind every product people open in a browser.
Why it's in demand
Consistently the largest pool of junior and freelance roles
Realistic timeline

Free resources
6 curated links
Web development has the shortest distance between learning something and showing someone. You write code, deploy it, send a link — and that link is your résumé.
Start with the fundamentals rather than a framework. HTML, CSS and JavaScript outlive whatever library is fashionable this year, and everything else is easier once they're solid.
What you'll be able to do
- Build and ship a responsive site people can actually visit
- Take freelance and agency work with a portfolio instead of a degree
- Grow into full-stack, product or mobile engineering
