For beginners this may offer similar, but with more context. > **[Front-end Developer Handbook 2019 - Learn the entire JavaScript, CSS and HTML...](https://frontendmasters.com/books/front-end-handbook/2019/)** > > A guide for front-end developers to equip themselves with latest learning resources and development tools in front-end engineering. However I think for beginners any of the above links may seem overwhelming and potentially discouraging. ---

This is very useful. Here’s one more article I got on Google for beginners - intermediate level to be clear on what to learn. ---

I have to refute that last article mate… - The info graphic has Java, PHP, Ruby, C#, Swift… none of which are necessary (except Swift for native apps). - JS… you can build very nice, interactive, fast, responsive web pages with no JS. Astro the latest static site generator from the Snowpack guys, which will build static sites from React, Vue, and Svelte components, by default builds pages with no Javascript. You opt in for what you need. Very handy… JS is almost essential but not quite… - Typescript… \> 10% of dev jobs listed require TS . Its a very handy tool for large projects. Not essential yet… - Frameworks… JQuery, React ect were built compensate for JS not being able easily do certain things. JS has caught up to most of it. How many new projects use JQuery? There’s even a stage 1 proposal for observables. If it goes through RXJS will be obsolete… - CSS pre-processors… sure they speed up writing your CSS. Don’t start trying to learn them before learning actual CSS. Not really essential… HTML and CSS are essential but not all of it… for example : - You probably don’t need to learn `floats` and `clear` now that we have flexbox and grid. Even IE can support grid (with its own syntax). - `Animations` and `transitions` are really nice but some sites (like e commerce) generally have none. - `Custom-elements` and `
