Hey Sultan X , thanks for your question!

This will definitely depend on what your learning goals are. There are always ways to make any learning topic bite-sized and suited for 30 minutes a day.

If you are looking to master front-end web developer, then CSS would be a good one to start with. CSS is responsible for how a web page is styled. It's considered one of the basic parts of web development, so it would be handy to know anyway. The logic behind CSS is quite straight-forward, so it would be a great place to start.

Javascript is often considered the "next step" once you understand CSS. This gives a webpage some dynamic interactivity. For example, you can make something happen if a user clicks a button. This requires a bit more logic and critical thinking compared to CSS, but nevertheless still an important aspect of front-end web development.

PHP is a personal favorite, but if you are looking to work with PHP in a web development context, you will want to have a good foundation in HTML, CSS, and Javascript first. PHP is more geared towards back-end web development. While many professionals focus on back end web development, they usually have a generally good understanding of front end so they know what is possible.

So I guess long story short, if you haven't looked into CSS yet, that's where I would start!
