6 advices I have for every newbie web developers

Thread below 🧵
First, I'll advice you learn CSS and JavaScript first before going intoo any of the UI frameworks.

This will go a long in helping you learn other front-end technologies are you grow.
Secondly,

You must learn how to use Git. It doesn't matter what languages you use, knowledge of Git will always be required.

Thankfully, knowing the basics will be enough for you to manage your project.
Follow up tutorials. Don't just watch them passively.

Endeavor to code along as it will help you remember a lot of things you would've forgotten about. Take notes as well.
Having knowledge of some useful UI libraries can be very helpful and time-saving.

While having elementary knowledge is important, use pre-written libraries and frameworks to save time.
Practice constantly and stay updated.

Web development as a field which is rapidly evolving. New technologies and tools are being introduced constantly.

Read docs, even if some don't really like it.

Keep up with trends.
Know where to find solutions you're looking for.

You don't know everything, and you don't have to.

Utilize Google to find your answers.
