How do I learn Web Development

I just started learning web development a month ago, I started with an outdated course from 2015 , Web Dev Bootcamp by Colt Steele,
https://www.udemy.com/course/the-web-developer-bootcamp/
I knew it was outdated but proceeded anyways because I loved his teaching style.( I did learn c++ , Java a little, in high school with no real practical application) but that still helped me while learning javaScript concepts.
Now I've completed the course and learned mongo , node , express, bootstrap and a few other concepts.
Difficulties I'm facing.

  • The course is outdated, The concepts I learnt are pre-ES6.
  • I haven't really got much practice.

So should I practice making applications with the concepts I've learnt or should I learn the newer concepts and syntax first.
What are the important concepts I should focus on?
Will these courses be a step in the right direction?

Are there any books/tutorials that would be helpful for me??
