Free code camp has a pretty competent front end curriculum. Harvardx has a good cs fundamentals class (cs50) among numerous others. Once you know what you are interested in, udemy has decent courses to ...

As a beginner learning HTML and CSS, This makes me wonder if I'm learning the wrong things or missing out on some important concepts by using w3schools.
