I am fairly new to the world of web development and was looking resources to get started. I had prior knowledge of Kotlin and I learned that I can use Kotlin.js to build my webApps/website. I tried looking for some guides/tutorials on the web to find something where I could learn web development with Kotlin.js but I couldn't find anything beginner friendly. Is there any resources which will help in getting started with Kotlin.js or will I have to learn JS first? And if there is do I need to learn HTML/CSS first? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

Since Kotlin/JS is a technology that heavily interoperates with and relies on the web ecosystem, having knowledge around those technologies is definitely beneficial.
If you want to write applications with Kotlin/JS that run in the browser, you need an understanding of what makes up your site: While Kotlin/JS provides abstractions over concepts like HTML and CSS (or corresponding frameworks like styled-components), allows you to use JavaScript packages, and more – these abstractions still require you to understand the basics of the underlying concepts.
With a basic understanding of HTML and CSS, you should be able to follow the steps outlined in the tutorials section on the official Kotlin website.
For a more interactive start into Kotlin/JS as a technology, which comes with detailed explanations, includes official sample projects, and uses real-world frameworks, the hands-on section on the Kotlin website can teach you about how to build React + Kotlin/JS applications.
