#javascript #webdev #svelte #typescript

If you are interested in learning web development and looking for some awesome resources online, then this post is for you.

There are so many tutorials available, it can be hard to choose which one is 'best'. I'm usually interested in doing a real project, lots of live coding, and very clear instructions. This is because when I'm trying to code, I tend to need to pause or rewind the video.

Below are some of my personal favorites:

1) Build a REST API with Node.js, Express, TypeScript, and MongoDB

2)Freecodecamp MERN stack tutorial

3) Build a Tindr Clone Full Stack Application with NodeJS and React

4) Youtube - Learn the MERN Stack in 60 Minutes

5) Build a Fullstack SvelteKit ToDo App with TailWind CSS and MongoDB

6) Serverless Vercel Svelte Project

These should be more than enough to get you started, let me know your favorite courses in the comments!
