Like Jay said. You should really focus on building any kind of website with HTML and CSS, as long as you want to build websites, since you might use Java to make games with HTML in some software development lol

In terms of web, you need to be proficient in HTML and CSS. If you go throw front-end track, and do the HTML and CSS basics first, skipping the JS part at first, and then spend some times doing layouts of websites, understanding how CSS works, calc(), floats, absolute, relative, building any kind of website, once you can do soemthing with that, THEN you can learn JS.

Bare in mind to know how to use JS you need to know how to use CSS. So if you skip then well.. If you don't understand how CSS wokr's, your JS could be right but you'r CSS could mkae the issues.

Just go throw all HTML and CSS courses on the front-end track, and then go throw the JavaScript track. That's how I do it and I'm doing pretty good, i suppose. Learned a lot. Now I'm focusing 100% on JavaScript, while i can code fairly good code in HTML and CSS.
