Last year we published a piece on Brad Travery’s Guide to Web Development.

In a nutshell, the Guide walks you through all the many options you have when it comes to web development.  For example, are you looking for a CSS framework?  Then you might consider Bootstrap, Tailwind, Materialize, Bulma, and Foundation, and here’s a bit about each.  Same for backend kit, other frontend technologies, testing, vital APIs, IDEs, static site generators, patterns, project management, and even mental health.

Traversy’s guide is a wonderful thumbnail guide to the industry, because

1. it’s current: Traversy keeps it up to date.
2. it’s practical: Travery is big on practical, what-is-in-use stuff, not ivory tower theories or hobbyist projects.
3. it’s opinionated: But opinions are well-marked, and the opinions are mostly about where technologies fit in or how they’re doing in the market.
4. it’s a handy friend – like if you had lunch with a web dev contractor friend who does a dozen gigs a year and loves to talk shop.

The 2023 version is now out, in one glorious 3-hour, chapterized video.  Just like last time, there’s also a premium ebook you can get.  If you do any kind of web dev carve out some time for this one…or just skip to the chapter you need.

Dread Lord of LowEnd Content at LowEndBox

I'm raindog308, techno polymath and long-time LowEndTalk community Administrator. My technical interests include all things Unix, perl, python, golang, shell scripting, vintage operating systems such as MVS, and relational database systems such as Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MySQL.

I also enjoy using LEBs! I have an empire of little guys for VPNs, larger guys for apps, and big guys for databases and storage. When I'm not in front a screen I'm into German Shepherd dogs, quality knives, target shooting, theology, tabletop roleplaying games, and forest hiking.

I enjoy writing technical articles here on LowEndBox to help people get more out of their systems. You can find me on LowEndTalk @raindog308
