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
- it’s current: Traversy keeps it up to date.
- it’s practical: Travery is big on practical, what-is-in-use stuff, not ivory tower theories or hobbyist projects.
- 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.
- 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.
