Ask HN: What are the topics a beginner web developer should know?

2 points by aj_nikhil 4 years ago | 3 comments

Hi all, I'm a web developer with around 6-7 years of experience but lost touch with it since past 4 years. I know the basics HTML, CSS, JS , and Django. And based on that I want to create a basic course for people who want to break into web development. What topics should I cover ? Are the basics enough or the new age frameworks like Angular, ReactJS , Vue JS etc are mandatory for beginners? I am just afraid my course shouldn't become outdated.

This covers it up well:

If you click through there are "Intermediate Reintroduction" to JS / web dev there somewhere and some more advanced material.

Thank you. Do you think ReactJS, Vue JS are mandatory for beginners?

Not really mandatory. Check out whatever jobs you are interested in if they ask for React or Vue learn one or the other. MDN is the single best source on learning web dev, so trust it over stackoverflows etc.
