Spellbook of Modern Web Dev

A Big Picture, Thesaurus, and Taxonomy of Modern JavaScript Web Development

• This document originated from a bunch of most commonly used links and learning resources I sent to every new web developer on our full-stack web development team.
• For each problem domain and each technology, I try my best to pick only one or a few links that are most important, typical, common or popular and not outdated, base on the clear trends, public data and empirical observation.
• Prefer fine-grained classifications and deep hierarchies over featureless descriptions and distractive comments.
• Ideally, each line is a unique category. The " / " symbol between the links means they are replaceable. The ", " symbol between the links means they are complementary.
• I wish this document could be closer to a kind of knowledge graph or skill tree than a list or a collection.
• It currently contains 2000+ links (projects, tools, plugins, services, articles, books, sites, etc.)
• Feel free to submit the missing or better links in your opinion. Also, please provide the reason.
