Seeking recommendations for frontend web development learning materials
Hi everyone,
I’ve been watching a lot of Theo recently, and I find that his community might be the best place for me to ask this question.
I’m a CS graduate with a couple of professional projects in Golang, focusing on backend API development. While frontend web development isn't my primary interest, I’m eager to learn how to build the frontend of an application I’m currently working on. This web app will serve as the consumer of an API that responds purely in JSON, and the main user interface to the app.
It includes several productivity features, such as a kanban board, time-tracking, notes and some others, all designed to help me and other university students/users stay organized and efficient with their day to day lives. The API is progressing quite well, to the point I think I'm ready to start with the frontend a little bit.
I don’t want to rush into implementing all the features right away and will start with the easier parts of the application, like tasks, notes, etc. I’d like to take my time to learn what’s necessary to create the best app possible, especially since there’s no deadline for the project and it is a pet project of mine atm.
I’m particularly interested in exploring tools, technologies, and frameworks like React and Tailwind CSS, but I’m open to any other recommendations that could fit my project needs. My goal is to create a responsive and user-friendly interface, and I want to avoid Next.js since I plan to self-host the application.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions for learning materials, such as tutorials, books, or online courses that cover these tools and technologies in depth. I prefer text-based resources for a more hands-on learning experience, but I’m also open to videos if they provide valuable insights.
Thank you in advance for your help.
I’m looking forward to your recommendations!
