Front-end developer roadmap for 2021 🧵👇🏼

I started my web development journey exactly one year ago i,e. January 2020 and it's been a year since I'm in learning phase

In this thread I'll be covering

- All you need to learn about front-end development
- Tools and technologies
- Skills you need to learn
- Resources
First things first, you need an editor to write code. There are plethora of editors out there like atom, VS code, sublime etc

I recommend you to start with VS code. Why?👇🏼

🔹Many built-in features
🔹It's fast
🔹Large community
🔹IntelliSense code completion and debugging
Don't want to download an editor due to memory issue or something else?

Don't worry we have lots of online editors also👇🏼

Now you're all set to write code and create beautiful websites

A typical website can be divide into three phases

- HTML 🧱
- CSS 🎨
- JavaScript ⚙️
1. HTML

- It is used to build the skeleton for your website
- It's a markup language that totally operates on tags
- You can master it with 10 days

2. CSS

- It is used to give the styling for your website
- Cascading Style Sheets, that totally operates on different properties
- You can learn it within 20-25 days but it will take time to master it
There are 520 distinct properties in CSS. But according to my personal experience, you will hardly use all of them.

Generally CSS revolves around👇🏼

- Box model
- Position
- Background
- Animation
- Media query
- Flex box
- CSS grid

CSS Frameworks

- In simple words CSS frameworks are the CSS code written by some other developers. All you need to do is just import in your HTML file and now you can add styling in your website with even writing CSS code by yourself

Learning a particular CSS framework is pretty easy. You can learn them by reading official documentation
- Pick any CSS Frameworks by your choice👇🏼

🔹Tailwind CSS
🔹Bootstrap
🔹Bulma
🔹Materialize CSS
🔹Foundation

... and many more
JavaScript

- JS is used to add functionality and behavior in your website

- JavaScript is a popular programming and widely used language for Web Development

- You can't master JS in few days or months, It will take time

But you will be able to create websites in few days.
Start with the basic topics👇🏼

- Data types
- Loops
- Conditional statements
- Objects
- Arrays
- Functions

Document Object Model (DOM)

- With the HTML DOM, you can access, modify and changes the HTML elements

- When a web page is loaded, the browser creates a Document Object Model of the page
With the help of DOM, JavaScript can change the

- elements in the page
- attributes
- CSS styling

I mean now you have a super power to make changes in you webpage using JS

- Git is a Version Control system used for tracking changes
- GitHub is a code hosting platform of Git

1/“What would need to be true for you to….X”

Why is this the most powerful question you can ask when attempting to reach an agreement with another human being or organization?

A thread, co-written by @deanmbrody:


2/ First, “X” could be lots of things. Examples: What would need to be true for you to

- “Feel it's in our best interest for me to be CMO"
- “Feel that we’re in a good place as a company”
- “Feel that we’re on the same page”
- “Feel that we both got what we wanted from this deal

3/ Normally, we aren’t that direct. Example from startup/VC land:

Founders leave VC meetings thinking that every VC will invest, but they rarely do.

Worse over, the founders don’t know what they need to do in order to be fundable.

4/ So why should you ask the magic Q?

To get clarity.

You want to know where you stand, and what it takes to get what you want in a way that also gets them what they want.

It also holds them (mentally) accountable once the thing they need becomes true.

5/ Staying in the context of soliciting investors, the question is “what would need to be true for you to want to invest (or partner with us on this journey, etc)?”

Multiple responses to this question are likely to deliver a positive result.
