What tips would you give for someone starting as a web dev?

Hi,

So I was wondering, what tips would you give someone new starting web dev? What about someone that is a little bit more than a beginner?

For example, one of my tips would be to get a close look on HTML documentation, and see what HTML tag are available. I would probably say for someone new not to use frameworks, and code pure CSS, then it will be good idea to get into a CSS framework, do some work, understand the concept behind it, and then get off the framework, and maybe or shoudl learn a concept like OOCSS, SMACSS, BEM and such. And id say to practice the fundamentals over and over again. Also, finish most of the HTML before beginning the CSS. WIll save a lot of headaches and will make life easier.

That would be one of my advice for someone new, a bit broad one.

Then, for my self, which I'm kinda 'above' what I just wrote, since that's what actually i did and It helped me, although I stayed too much in the framework zone.. wasted time but it definitely helped me to get into that and now out of them. Big improvement.

So, what advice would you give? For a very beginner, and an advanced beginner starting in web dev?
