This book is amazing! Even for starters with just basic knowledge of HTML and CSS, this book can get you started building your own websites and projects.

I reached chapter 6 on servers and wasn't able to follow along as virtualbox doesn't support apple silicone. Not the Author's fault I suppose. The book can explain the basics to beginners but there are much better and more up-to-date resources such as The Odin Project, thank me later.
