True beginner-Where should I start?

True blue beginner here. I know how a computer works and how to do "every day" stuff, but want to become a web developer. Should I start with the "HTML Deep Dive" or "Build a simple website" tracks?

A good place to start in my opinion is with the Web Design Track, which the first block is Build a Simple Website. You can also start with the Web Development track, but I found it easier to start with design myself. The Web Development track also starts with the Build a Simple Website block.

If you can learn the "class" or "theory" way, (the the one that's more just like a bunch of geometry equations rather than real life applications), and still not get bored. Then do the HTML deep dive. If not the just follow the Web Design Track. Like Riley Hilliard said.
