- HTML, CSS, and JavaScript - We spend a chapter on each of these core languages. You will become comfortable with each, and understand why they are so important.
- Text-Editor, DevTools, and Terminal - These three tools are used daily by all developers. You will become well versed in how to use them, and why they are so helpful.
- Popular Programming Languages - There are hundreds of programming languages out there. We focus on the top 10. You'll learn about what languages you should focus on for specific roles/fields. This discussion helps you narrow in your interest.
- Git and GitHub - You will become familiar with the general Git-GitHub workflow. More importantly, you will understand how these technologies work, and in doing so, get a leg-up on many of your peers. Most beginner programmers don't understand what makes Git so special, you will.
- Frontend vs. Backend - In the last 5 years, the most significant split in web development is between the backend and frontend. We investigate why this happened, the difference between the two, and how this will impact your next steps.

Nope! This book is for beginners. If you do have experience with HTML, CSS, etc. there is still a lot for you to learn from this book.
