A short Codecademy course that introduces how websites are built, covering the basics of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and where files go when building a site. It is an overview rather than a deep dive, and according to one commenter it also touches on git.

Commenters recommend it as a starting point for understanding how a webpage is built, with one calling it a good overview of what front end developers work with.

    Hey! These are all really good questions. First, all websites are pretty much the same. They are a database. For example Kickstarter is a database that has projects. Projects list their creator, how much they have raised, who pledged etc. What you want is a web app. I would check out…
