Keep your goals in sight. You’ve made your resolutions — we want to help you keep them (at least the ones that aren’t food related). That’s why we’ve put together five simple things you can do to get started with Front-End Web Development.
- Download a text editor. We’re huge fans of Sublime Text at GA.
- Jump right in. Play around with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in CodePen, and see what it looks like right in your browser.
- Read relevant material. For useful tips and design inspiration check out Smashing Magazine and A List Apart, or jump into the deep end with Dive Into HTML, the A Book Apart e-book series.
- Get an expert’s take. Read Nick Schaden’s blog post on “What is: Front-End Web Development“.
- Embrace the community. Get help from other developers on Stack Overflow, or offline at a Meetup group near you.
