I always felt a bit lost when I was starting on my programming journey.
It's true β it was a very frustrating experience. Maybe you're feeling a little frustrated, too!
I tried several courses and looked into different educational avenues to try and find answers, but most of them only teach theory and don't provide practical, real-world solutions for new developers.
So there are two things I want to share with you.
First, here's a list of resources I've put together that will provide you with a lot of relief as you continue learning.
Second, a list of 36 courses/certifications you can take as a web developer. Link below! -

π IDE
A coder without a code editor? Haha, no way! Here are some of the best code editors -
π Illustrations
Proper aesthetics define a website. As a web developer, you have to be careful about the images and icons you use. Here's a list:
- Unsplash, Pexels, Undraw, DrawKit, FreePik, and Pixabay β Free images, photos, and videos
- Loading.io β Free animated, static spinners, progress bar, backgrounds, and much more
- Lottie Files β High-quality, interactive open-source animation files
- Ionicons, icons8, Icones, Flaticon, and IcoFont β Rich resources containing different icons
π Tools
Many prominent developers have created excellent, crazy tools to boost development. These are some of them:
- Remove BG β An AI tool to help remove the background of an image
- Clippy β Create complex shapes in CSS using the clip-path property
- Web Code Tools β One Platform with many solutions. Generates box shadows, gradients, meta tags, elements, etc.
- Haikei β Generates unique SVG design assets
- Transform β A polyglot web converter
π Challenges
The developerβs life is a life of overcoming challenges (& bugs, haha!). To keep up with trends, we have to challenge ourselves constantly. For that, use:
- CSS Battle β A battleground to improve and tighten CSS skills
- LeetCode, HackerRank, Exercism β Platforms for Data Structure & Algorithms practice
- Frontend Mentor, iCodeThis & Codewell β Develop, practice & compete to code a frontend website from its design file
- freeCodeCamp β Learn and complete projects to achieve certifications for free
π Hosting
Want to share your website with the entire world? Check out these free hosting services:
π Guides
Valuable cheat sheets, tutorials on tech stuff, and more.
- DevDocs β Pragmatic information on almost every language
- DevHints β Beautiful cheatsheets comprising many languages
- Cheatsheet.wtf β Programming language cheatsheets for beginners
- Roadmap.sh β Roadmaps, guides and other educational content
- 30 Seconds of Code β Provides short code snippets on various languages
π Wrapping Up
The conclusion is that a developerβs path is filled with challenges and opportunities.
Enjoy the ever-improving journey of great web development. Keep coding, stay curious, and donβt shy away from challenges.
The web development journey is ongoing; Enjoy every moment of discovery, innovation and growth.

Great list of resources, Arjun! I would like to suggest another tool that should be a part of every developer's toolkit: ApyHub - It is a catalog of 100+ APIs that can help developers implement complex and time-consuming functionalities in minutes.
This is pure gold! I appreciate sharing, dude!
Another tool that will help you gain visibility of the team's activity, set ways of working that allows you to ship code faster is youralto.com. Especially with their AI generated summaries that will allow you to stay on top on your team activity.
Thanks for adding to the list, mate!
what about jetbrains into IDEβs
I just forgot! I too have used their IDEs. (PyCharm and IntelliJ Idea)
Thanks for adding up!
