Entering into the world of front-end development as a new developer has not been the most clear and straightforward path. With all the new "shiny" and "user-friendly" platforms I needed to learn about, I felt very overwhelmed and didn't know which path to take to begin my learning journey.
The most confusing thing about platforms, was the fact that they are marketed to be "user friendly" but in reality they add more complex things for new learning developers to try and figure out. Each platforms has their own way of doing things that causes confusion when you are trying to learn multiple platforms at the same time.
I think the easiest way for web components and VanillaJS standards to be taught is to teach the foundations and the building blocks needed to succeed as a front-end developer. As a new developer myself, I would like to know all the tools or "building blocks" that I have to create better web components.
Personally, the easiest to work with on the 1st stab was implementing my web-component in React. It was the easiest for me to figure out because I had access to a lot of good information online that allowed me to figure out how to create my web component. Most of the way I was able to start making sense of things was doing a lot of research on lovely Google and watching countless videos on YouTube for explanations.
