➊ HTML & CSS
⬘ Your Front-End journey shall always start from HTML & CSS and, ends with these as well.
⬗ Don't over burden yourself to learn everything at once. It's a continuous subject.
⬙ Do not separate HTML from CSS. That's unnecessary.

➋ JavaScript
JavaScript is essential. You should start with basics and move to complex subjects.
❍ JavaScript Syntaxes
(preferably ES6 onwards)
❍ HTML DOM API
❍ Event Handling
❍ Fetch API

➌ CSS Frameworks
CSS Framework is necessary if you are planning to be a professional developer.
There are so many options available.
❍ Tailwind CSS
❍ Bootstrap
❍ Chakra
❍ Bulma
❍ Foundation
❍ Skeleton
❍ Pure CSS
Start with anything. You can switch any time.
➍ UI Frameworks
To build a complex application, you will start using a UI framework sooner or, later.
They are,
❍ React
❍ Vue.js
❍ Angular
❍ Svelte
Go through their documentations. Choose according to your requirement, future interest.
➎ TypeScript
❑ JavaScript initially looks to be enough. But once projects become complex and bigger, you will notice how tough it's getting to handle.
❒ The biggest drawback (biggest advantage as well) of JavaScript is its dynamic typing. TypeScript is for your rescue.
➏ Server-side Frameworks
Client-side UIs (or, Single Page Applications) are
❍ Slow at startup
❍ Not fully SEO friendly
❍ Difficult to grow
Adapt to Server-Side frameworks.
❍ Next.js
❍ Gatsby
❍ NuxtJS
➐ Practice, Practice and, Practice
❑ Don't just read books and, articles or, watch videos. To learn effectively, you have to practice.
❒ Practicing after each step is very very important.
I am here sharing few practice sets.

➑ Other Skills
These are some mandatory skills
➀ Git
Knowledge of Git is must. You can use clients like GitHub, GitLab etc.
➁ Data Structures
You should learn basic data structures like Array, Linked List, Stack, Queue, Tree, Graph etc.
Below are some "nice-to-have" skills
➂ CSS Preprocessors
CSS is powerful but, sometimes we may need features which are not available in CSS. There, CSS Preprocessors help a lot.
We can choose from
❍ Sass
❍ LESS
❍ Stylus
❍ PostCSS
➃ Web APIs
Apart from DOM API and Fetch API, you may have to use many other APIs for building a great web application.

➄ State Management Libraries
Managing data (state) in a UI application becomes a tough task when they become abundant.
You may consider to use
❍ Redux
❍ Mobx
❍ React Query
❍ xstate
➅ GraphQL
Traditional data fetching from server is a repetitive and slower operation.
GraphQL is a nice invention. It's grooming. Consider using any of the below GraphQL clients.
❍ Apollo Client
❍ Relay
❍ GraphQL Request
❍ AWS Amplify
❍ urql
