Why is it that every one only mentions React, why not beautiful easier frameworks like Vue or Angular

Same with deployment. Learn where something lives when it's publicly available in the Internet, not just "we connect our repo to platform X and it's magically now on the Internet"

Thank you for including accessibility. Even so, I think a few aspects are missing from your curriculum. First and foremost, security: the most important parts are link-rel and CSP when it comes to HTML and CORS plus handling data in its correct context to prevent XSS attacks in JS.

Also, instead of learning React, I have long advocated for a broader view beyond specific frameworks and libraries into the patterns beneath them.

Otherwise, this is a really good article that could help a lot of people. Well done!

Agree. The choice of choosing a framework would be based the user's preference

For beginner developer all you need is to pass an interview. Better start is to understand what is in demand in your local market and learn it. After that apply until you get your first interview. It's better than to learn all topics, waste time, and not be able to find a job after that. If in your place there are enough jobs with this stack, you can try this resource advancedjavascript.org. But it's for experienced developers. And 30 minutes daily is not enough, 100%

Hey. If anyone reads this who actually does want to learn web dev. First off, welcome aboard. Secondly, avoid articles like this, and third, check out The Odin Project for a good curriculum. If you want to pay, Boot.dev gives a good backend focused course for 30 euros a month.

Fancy and encouraging, but not practical. 4-5 weeks for JavaScript and 6-8 for React?

Anyway, to gain all these skills, you're going to spend at least 1.5-2 years :) Or you're a vibe coder without understanding the logic I must say

If you’re serious about learning Full Stack Development, I highly recommend checking out the Skyappz Full Stack Program. It follows a clear, structured roadmap—from HTML & CSS to React, Node.js, databases, and deployment. Plus, they offer real-time projects, 1:1 mentoring, and placement support, which really helps if you're starting from scratch or switching careers. It’s a solid way to stay on track without getting lost in scattered online tutorials.
