Front-end Developer Handbook 2019
The book is free and available at https://frontendmasters.com/books/fro...
This is a guide that everyone can use to learn about the practice of front-end development. It broadly outlines and discusses the practice of front-end engineering: how to learn it and what tools are used when practicing it in 2019.
It is specifically written with the intention of being a professional resource for potential and currently practicing front-end developers to equip themselves with learning materials and development tools. Secondarily, it can be used by managers, CTOs, instructors, and head hunters to gain insights into the practice of front-end development.
The content of the handbook favors web technologies (HTML, CSS, DOM, and JavaScript) and those solutions that are directly built on top of these open technologies. The materials referenced and discussed in the book are either best in class or the current offering to a problem.
The book should not be considered a comprehensive outline of all resources available to a front-end developer. The value of the book is tied up in a terse, focused, and timely curation of just enough categorical information so as not to overwhelm anyone on any one particular subject matter.
The intention is to release an update to the content yearly. This is currently the fourth year an edition has been released.

When not sitting in front of a computer, it's a sure bet he is hanging out with his wife & three boys in Meridian, Idaho.

Puts my learning gaps into perspective, with a lot of resources to fill them in.
Any other day, I would typically avoid reading technical books partly because I tend to be overwhelmed by the amount of information and the dryness of the presentation. This book gives me a quick overview of what frontend developers learn in order to be recognized as experts in their field. Kind of like a combination of a content page and a list of additional readings.
This was shared to me by a colleague some time ago. I decided to read it today because my colleagues' enthusiasm for learning the ins and outs of technology has started to rub off on me and it got me wondering where they get it from.
I have not looked through all the resources given because I read the epub version, which isn't ideal for reading this.
Now that I have a rough idea of where my learning gaps are, I like that it got me reflecting on whether these gaps are something I want to focus on closing or if I want to consider directing my career elsewhere.

Basically just a list of what is currently going on, but I appreciate it. Saves me lots of work in tracking things down to know what to bone up on.
