Odin Project and freecodecamp were highly recommended on Reddit a couple years ago, no idea if that still holds up. Worth looking into. Colt Steele/Udemy/paid courses you can't guarantee are up to date suck because of low effort updates to outdated content.

MDN (Mozilla Dev Network) is best for detailed documentation, and has plenty of small lessons but no actual bootcamp/course. Avoid w3schools except for reference documentation; they have gotten better, but there's still plenty of simplified examples that are bad practice like inline styles and event handlers.

One of the first lessons from good teachers is to not compare yourself to others, as everyone learns differently. Only compare yourself to your past self. Programming is extremely complex and usually doesn't "just work" for the brain, so any progress towards understanding is great.

Reddit as of today is still recommending Codeacademy and Odin Project, so I'll likely start there.

You have any recommendations for front and backend languages?

Mainly focusing on website and web app development.

Can only recommend HTML5/CSS3/ECMAScript (modern JS) as I'm not deep into the backend yet. No matter what else is piled on top they are the core, and others are using them on some level. The languages you use are less important than the concepts you will learn, in the long run. Because if you know how to do something in one lang/stack you can do it in any comparable alternative provided enough documentation/StackOverflow and time. I went for languages instead and though I can "just read" some code I don't fully understand in random languages, I also don't have as good of a grasp on my preferred & used languages.
