How much should I learn? How much will I learn?

I started the basic html course. I am half way through it. I was wondering how much I should know when I'm done. Will it give me all the knowledge of html? How much should I be learning? Why do I have to build a website then move on too html in the front-end dev track?

I'm probably at the same stage as u, and i just finished the html course, and I still would need some more tutorials and go back to look at the videos here, if I were to set up a website. But what i did learn was how html and css works together and the basics of what all those symbols mean, and so on. I kind of feel like I can read code now, at least the basics.

After you're done the HTML/CSS courses, you should be able to read and write both HTML and CSS, and be able to setup a simple static webpage. However, there's a lot about HTML/CSS that isn't taught, as it isn't very essential knowledge. You will learn more about those things as your skills progress.

Web Design, as with almost all technology related subjects, is a thing that is always evolving, and will require constant learning. New standards and new features come around, and some old features disappear and are replaced. If you need to know how to do something, Google and forums are your best friend :)
