For the web, start with HTML, CSS and JavaScript, then add a backend language such as PHP or Python once you can build static pages confidently.
No. A structured path, real projects and consistency matter far more than a formal qualification for most web roles.
Most people can build and deploy a simple multi-page site within a few focused weeks. Complex web apps take longer, but the fundamentals come quickly.
A working knowledge of one language gets you writing scripts. Being job-ready means you can also use version control, read a codebase somebody else wrote, debug something you did not write, and deploy to a real environment. Most people underestimate that second list. The fastest way to close the gap is to build and ship something real, in git, that other people actually use.
Build something you personally want to exist and can finish in a weekend. Scope beats ambition at the start: a small project you complete teaches you the whole cycle — planning, building, debugging, deploying — whereas a large one usually teaches you what abandoning a project feels like. After three finished small things, the bigger idea gets far easier.
