The way I want to continue to develop myself is by focusing on laying out a proper foundation of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. This so I can build quality websites for clients by just using the core languages of the Web. At the present, I am working on the above things by going through (interactive) articles on the MDN Web Docs (see chapter Useful resources).
Another way I want to improve my knowledge of these subjects is to do more challenges that Frontend Mentor is offering, starting at the lowest level, and building that up to the more advanced ones.
Besides the above, I want to continue to develop myself by using several tools more often to improve my workflow. and spend less time doing things that can be automated.
A few tools that I will start using more often are:
- Gulp
- Git
- GitHub
I will learn the above points in between but do not want to focus too much on those at the moment.
As soon as I am capable of creating quality websites with the core languages of the Web, I will start to learn JavaScript libraries and frameworks. Both of these change over time, so I do not want to spend my time on those before I have a solid understanding of prior mentioned languages.
