The Toughest Concepts in Web Development

Web development is not easy! Many think it's as simple as choosing your favorite website builder, spending a few days uploading content, then pressing publish. If all you're looking for is a simple marketing website, then you're in luck...but if you're in need of anything else, you'll soon find yourself in the weeds.

Some of the toughest concepts (according to us) include:

  • Asynchronous Programming and Promises
  • State Management
  • Security Concerns (XSS, CSRF, SQL Injection)
  • Performance Optimization
  • Scalability and Architecture
  • Cross-Browser Compatibility
  • Responsive Design
  • Web Accessibility (a11y)
  • SSR, SSG, CSR
  • Event-Driven Architectures
  • Dependency Management
  • CI/CD

Myself and my co-host, Mike Karan, discussed these topics below:
