Isn't this to soon ? It's nice starting to learn java but I don't know if my knowledge on HTML and CSS is good enough

The thing is I understand the basic on HTML and CSS but I am not that good that I could write my own code for building my own page. Isn't there a good exercise to write a custom HTML page to see if i am fit enough to start on JAVA yet?

The MASH courses seem to me to be more of an introduction to HTML, CSS, and JavaScript than serious practical courses on the subjects. It's nice to have an introduction to what JavaScript is and what it's capable of before going deep with HTML and CSS. You should probably take more HTML and CSS courses before you take more JavaScript courses though.

Also, JavaScript is NOT the same as Java. They are two different langauges.

I recommend choosing a Track and following the course order on there. If you're interested in Front-End Web Development, there's a Track for that.

As far as a specific course, I recommend How to Make a Website.

You see, Java is a completely different programming language and it has nothing to do with javascript. "Java" is used for developing games and apps for Android; while "Javascript" is used for the purpose of front-end web development and stuff like that.
