question for blind devs: Learning to code (self.Blind)
submitted by Ok_Scar9881
Hi all,

This is a question to blind devs. How difficult is it to learn HTML and JavaScript? How easy would it be to design your own website?

I know the basics of HTML, but would like to familiarize myself with HTML and JavaScript more. Are there any good accessible resources out there that you'd recommend for learning both?

I can recommend VSCode as editor and other stuff. Other than that, of course not the prettiest, but you can learn and develop your site for sure.
Javascript is a deep topic with lots of possibilities. If you learn it you may choose a topic to even go deeper.
For me w3schools is good, but not a learning place for me. I think i can title as a cheatpaper or something.

I’d recommend the Odin Project if you want to take it further than the basics.

I have been using w3schools.com

And no not very hard at all. It’s also doable. You also will have to learn css. Going through the html dom stuff will help too.

Here’s the html resources

Css

Html dom

Javascript

Yes those are excellent. Also I'd add, looking at real source code in the wild helps as well. Control+U in firefox brings up page source. You can learn a lot by looking at actual markup.

Yeah, that’s a good point for op u/Ok_Scar9881. and then don’t be shy to then just type what does x mean in javascrip or what does x mean in html in to google and you’ll find stuff come up pretty readily. While you’re doing this start a document on your computer and do it with the tutorial or the webpages.
