Introduction
Learning web development is like learning to drive a car. No matter how much you do not enjoy it, learning these skills sometimes can help you a lot and can even act as a great skill to put on your resume.
It's been over 3 years since I last touched anything related to HTML, CSS or any Javascript front-end framework but recently I happen to come across all of them at once.
I needed to create some landing pages, custom logos and mockups.
So I decided to go through all these technologies once again and during that process I found several interesting resources that helped me and will be useful for you as well ?
I am sure if you're someone who is just starting out (or even if you are at intermediate level), these resources can come pretty handy ?
Learning Javascript ?
Because I previously have experience working on Javascript, therefore I didn't spend much time revising my old concepts.
Still during the process, I found these two amazing github repositories to refresh your JS concepts ?
33 Javascript Concepts

33-js-concepts
? 33 concepts every JavaScript developer should know.
This is an amazing repository for you to master your JavaScript concepts.
From basic topics like Call Stack, Primitive types to Message Queue & event loop to concepts like async/await, High Order Funtions and Clean Code conepts, this repo contains everything you need.
It is even considered by GitHub as one of the top open source projects of 2018

- CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery)
- Access and Refresh Tokens
Learning CSS ?
Honestly, the reason why I don't enjoy web development is because I suck at CSS.
So, the first thing I did this time was to look for online resources to start learning and practicing my CSS skills from scratch.
Here are the 3 courses that turned out to be really helpful ?
Learning HTML ?
Although for my project, I didn't go back to learn HTML but just for the sake of this blog post, I found this FreeCodeCamp's video on youtube that I feel gives a very nice introduction to learn the basics of HTML5.
⭐️ It covers following topics -
- Basic Tags
- Comments
- Style & Color
- Formatting a Page
- Links
- Images
- Videos & Youtube iFrames
- Lists
- Tables
- Divs & Spans
- Input & Forms
