try to do something extremely basic with *only* HTML. Think "hello, world" in HTML. From there, add some tiny bits of complexity, like changing the font/colors, or adding a form. Learn how to submit the form without JS, then with JS. Now, add buttons with event handlers. By this point you've covered almost everything. I used a similar technique to teach my first employee how to be a web developer, and he started with almost no experience. Don’t worry about frameworks or libraries until you know how browsers and HTML work.
