There are a lot of helpful recourses for coding, what are some of your favorites?
Official documentation is usually my go-to if I need to figure out how something works.
Failing that I’ve got several books relating to a handful of languages and their application to refer to, and if all else fails then it’s off to Google!

I have found google an interesting resource, I sometimes find that it doesn’t work too well though. Official documentation and books are what I usually use.
Haven’t tried books yet. Any suggestions?
It depends, what languages you are learning?
Really Python and SQL (for Data Science).
I use a lot of ones for python by Eric Matthes.
I usually turn to official documentation when I know what I need but don’t know the specifics or the implementation. In cases where I have no idea how to accomplish something, StackOverflow and Google are great resources.
I use official documentation like MDN, my favourite goto YouTube channels re net ninja and traversy channels.
I also use google and w3 schools a lot.
I really want to ask how can someone get a mentor or guide in this web dev journey because it can be overwhelming and tough at times.
Sometimes I feel like I am in an ocean of knowledge and finding difficult to put all the parts together.
I feel you, but what I do is take is one day at a time, don’t worry about the next lesson, and focus on the one you are on, and if you ever too overwhelmed, just take a break for the day and come back tommarow.
Thank you for the response. I will put your advice into practice asap!
I use https://blush.design for illustrations
I use MDN and books (also the codecademy cheatsheets)
I usually use: Intools.co to find resources, since it has a comprehensive collection and mentions the features of each resource.
However, if I want to pick one, I’ll choose: Branding Colors, as it really has beautiful color palettes.
