My Guide to Frontend Development

Frontend is very strange, you have like a bazillion frameworks and stuff, this is the complete guide to survive the wild west of frontend web dev.
So let's dive straight in:

  1. HTML/CSS:
    The most important fundamental of web dev is HTML/CSS, HTML (Hyper text markup language), and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). They make DA Fundamentals. A good tutorial will be the one that Bro Code made HTML & CSS Full Course.

  2. JavaScript
    Now let's start with the real programming languages, JavaScript the pioneer of the web and a very high-level programming language, fun fact: it was developed in just one week! Good resources to learn JS from Free JavaScript Course Scrimba I love that site!

  3. Choosing a framework:
    Now we go to the horror of choosing a JS framework to work with, you have a dozen trillion options like:
    React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, Solid, Lit and much more…
    A personal choice for me would be React, it's flexible and not that hard, but you have to be devoted while learning React. A good course will be Scrimba 11-hour React Course Free.

  4. Meta-Framework (optional)
    These are stuff like NextJS and RedwoodJS that help you in routing and much other stuff.

So now you can go confidently to the dark forest of Frontend Development
