What should I learn first?

Honestly, you’re already starting with the hardest part solved.

Many developers know how to build software but don’t understand the business they are building for. You have three years of warehouse experience, which means you already know the workflows, bottlenecks, and daily frustrations.

My advice would be:

  1. Don’t start with technology. Start with the process.
  2. Write down how inventory enters, moves, and leaves the warehouse.
  3. Identify the 3 most painful problems you face every day.
  4. Build a very small solution for one problem first.

For the technical side, learning HTML, CSS, JavaScript, SQL, and a backend framework is a good path. But understanding the warehouse is likely to be your biggest advantage.

In my experience, a developer can learn a framework in a few months. Learning how a warehouse actually works takes years.
