Web Development 2018 - The Must-Know Tech 

easiest route for a web dev would be html, css, js with react in the frontend and nodejs in the backend , and mongodb for some data management. I choose Javascript and React because your learn once and you can write anywhere, and even build mobile apps

The good: really good video, well thought out. Great job. The bad: the 2019 video will probably have 50% of this stuff replaced with something newer. Ugh. (not an indictment on the author, just the industry)

Each time your roadmap is better than previous. Thanks from Ukraine man, you are doing great job!

Awesome, I learned Vuejs and strengthen my skills with Reactjs last year. This video just strengthens my mental roadmap for this year, ill definitely keep watching your videos.

Awesome stuff man. Videos like these are really hard to come by. Its a little late for me for to some boat but not too late. This video even though from 2018 still holds relevance in 2019. Its a huge help and guide on my journey to revise my stack, which are kind of archaic now

Being an entrepreneur, it's really important to know tech in the present age. I have decided to become a full-stack engineer on the side after usual work hours in the next 6 months. I absolutely love the way you have laid out the roadmap and it matches a lot with what my CTO has told me. Keep up the amazing work. :)

Outstanding intro to web development by far the best I've seen, thanks so much for putting this out there.

Thanks for the awesome video. I've been working professionally in the industry since 2006, but stuck on a legacy stack at work for the past few years. This video is a great overview if you are trying to figure out where the gaps in your knowledge are, and where to focus your attention. Watching it now, towards the end of 2018, it's all still super relevant - well done Will!

Again, another 5 star video. 100 questions asked, 100 questions well answered.

No one makes a better version in my honest opinion. Thank you. I'll get started.

MEAN stack dev is really a thing to learn...and fun... Its still trending and long lasting...angular never gonna fadeaway...

C# with ASP NET Core is Baller => fast, Xplatform, modular, high perf, framework is well built and all of NET Core is open source... I wouldn't sleep on this one.

Awesome. I really like this video and I learned a lot. I’m more a network and system engineer and I started an IT company four years ago and now we are getting in software development. I’m learning how to manage a development team and this video helped a lot for the orientation of the training of the team. I’ll definitely follow you guys and keep learning.

Great as always, I've been recommending this series to my newbies since 2014. A few things I think should be fixed: Sass, not SASS. Less, not LESS. and for CSS organization, ITCSS should be the first thing on the list. Mainly because it forces you to actually learn and understand how CSS works, rather than just a naming convention approach for classes.

A year one, but I think it's still very relevant. Thanks for this. It's made me realise just how much I know. Just need to plug a few gaps before moving on to React. Thanks.

I've graduated in economics, then decided that I want to work with web development, so I've started to learn HTML, CSS and JavaScrip, its just amazing that it changes all the time

Great overview video! I am a huge fan of your videos and courses, your lectures are very clean and have great information/length ratio (which cannot be said about the most of other stuff available on internet or youtube to my opinion). You are certainly one of the speakers that is a pleasure to listen to. Thanks!

Wow, great job! This is really helpful for us newbies; giving us a great 10,000 ft. view to devise a plan of attack & lots of great resources! Haven't found a lot of detailed yet easy to understand big picture overview out there. Great stuff! Thank you!

I've been watching these videos since 2016, always very accurate.

Honestly, I couldn't thank you enough. Just wishing you all the best in life and good health

Most popular video every year, with reason! Time to say thanks for providing this amazing content yet another year! 👍🙂

I was glad to see this video and find out your opinion. Thank you! Greetings from Ukraine)

YOU ARE BACK!

Note to self: Must also know how to not live out in the middle of the desert -- where jobs are none existent.

I always appreciate these. Thank you for the extra effort and insight!

Appreciate the time you took to put this together.

James like always great information you put out. I have found that most companies ask some weird questions about html that even if you are a seasoned developer you couldn’t find the answer if you tried

Hey there! You know I'm being reminded of #Dave from #Valve he once said that: " the programmers of today are the wizards of the future..!" Truly the moment when I came across your channel & ever since I subscribed, I learnt so much that I feel a bit overwhelmed to talk about it. You genuinely are an awesome personality, kinda an institution in yourself.. I don't wanna prolong the comment but I've so much to tell about, as to how much impact I have learning from you, with you, how much I appreciate your stuff, how much it helped me.. etc etc.. I am an avid viewer of your channel/videos regularly, without fail. Besides the technical expertise that you provide in a lucid way, the in-depth analysis, the most hidden insights of #Webdevelopment & #technologies, the true essence derived out of your own experience makes your stuff incredibly indispensable..!! Thank you so so much #WillStern I have a deep reverence for you, love you death, & I pray for you each time, every time..take care Bye ;)

Waited for this one ! Thanks a lot dude. 😉

OMG ! So excited to watch it. Missing your videos, hope you will have more time from work

Yeeee... already digging thru the Kubernetes, Microservices, gRPC, Go, Web Components, SMACSS, Vitess, RabitMQ. And i really love this stack. GOlang is amazing. And community is one of the best. But really dont like JavaScrip. I feel sick when hear about all those frameworks, dependency nightmare and libraries. Liked this vid because i got proof of my selected stack.

I wish you have had video of everything explaining like that. Great work! Wish another video in the same way for Software development. Thanks

Wow you chose Clojure for the backend! I found that interesting because I actually really like Clojure. I guess that means Clojure is gaining popularity each and every day. I choose to go backend and do Python, Clojure, and Java. Currently learning Python and Django, already know a good amount of Java from CS coursework and thought it was complementary to picking Clojure. Awesome video and good job clarifying what we need to learn regardless of what path we choose.

Thanks for this great video. Lays out everything so clearly. Only one thing I prefer elm to clojure

Looking forward to your update for 2019 ! :)

This guy knows everything wtf nice video

Thanks for this, it gave me tons of clarity!

Someone only has to fart these days and a new framework comes out. I'm not one for breathing in someone else's fart. It's really interesting watching your annual videos listing these technologies, because you can kinda either get really worried you don't have time to keep up, or you can relax and see none of these farts will linger too long. But there are lots of tech companies that hear the latest fart and have to smell it, and it's chaos - projects built around farts that will be hard to maintain in the future because the farts have blown away in the wind before you know it - which might be OK if the projects don't need to be built to last. I hope new devs aren't put off by all the smells in this industry and can just focus on good programming practices and the tech that has stood the test of time to start with. I also hope they take comments about C# and Java having lots of bad code with a pinch of salt - you can write bad code with anything, even more so with a loosely-typed language like javascript. Comes back to learning good practices to start with. I'm fortunate enough to work outside the chaos at the moment, but I don't know how people sleep when they're trying to keep up with the next latest tech - so much money must get spent on refactoring / rebuilding projects when new tech with such a short life span is adopted. I'd be interested to see an example of how much effort is involved in swapping out one framework for another in a small project. Maybe an idea for a new video?

Thank you for posting this, it's much appreciated.

Good video. Nice to have some direction on where to go in web development, Thanks.

Amazing video for start learner for his graph

Would love to see same style but for 1- Authentication , Security 2- Mobil dev

Love your courses very much. Easy to understand, even for a Chinese developer 😄

Can't wait for the golden age of LearnCode.academy You have an awesome teaching skills, have a good day, Will!

I like the way you explain the stuff👌🏻. I follow your videos and recommended to so many people.

Great content bro I love these videos a must-see for young budding Developers trying to get their foot in the door and an overall understanding of the market🔥🔥

hey thank you for that video .... what about 2019 version ?! :)

Thanks for this! I am an old fart looking to modernize my skills and the applications I manage ... that were built when prototype.js was the hot new thing (hah!) and this helps me know where to start.

Can't wait for the next one!

Nice video! I learned html, css, js and nodejs, and now I'm learning c# and unity. In regards to web dev I prefer backend. I tried to learn asp.net but it's very boring because in all tutorials I find online, they explain what's in the template from visual studio instead of doing all by hand and explaining along the way (like I learned nodejs)... If anyone knows about a good tutorial on asp.net please put it here :)

This video is amazing but I think you forgot one thing in basic front end. That thing is OOP. I think knowledge of OOJS is requried before using frameworks and building complex web apps.

Thank you for the insight, as someone who never dueled in web development since 2012 i find this very helpful.

Previously all those full stack and dev ops terminologies was big worlds for but this video summarizes and normalizes them very well. One correction though bootstrap 4 uses flexbox for layout.

This video is so informative, Thank you so much!

You're a MASTER, thank you sir!

Waiting for the 2019 video

For message brokers, definitely check out NATS! Crazy performant.

This channel is so helpful, thank you!

Would you be able to do a video about everything you need to know to be a data engineer? if not it's cool, I like your videos!

In your mindmap diagram, golang and rust are mapped to functional languages, they are compiled.

I didn't read all the comments, but what about mobile app development? Thank you very much for such a great video!!!

Thank you for putting all this super information together!

Love your videos and love that you promote Vue. My favorite framework by far, just hope we will see more jobs in that area soon.

Thanks! this helps a lot, I totally needed one :) (I love this kind of things that help you focuss and planning your learning path, yours is gorgeous! -thank you very much-)

Thank you for awesome resources!

i was waiting for this video for such long time thanks

very good overview thanks

There's a lot of bad Java and C#? Compared to Node? Not sure what you mean by that.

Thanks alot man... Really helpful to give directions to my carrer ..:)

I have been looking for this. no one has ever put all together and me see the complete picture.

Thank you for doing this! Always great and the most useful content.

Can you do one on Mobile Development?

Hi, just wondering if we will soon see the 2019 update to this video?

YOU MADE THEM LINKS. bless you

Very informative video. Thank you for sharing that information with us!

Great video!! Make a video on Authentication and Authorization :)

Well done! Thank you!

Thanks a lot it's really helpful

Great!! Thanks for this video

Happy to hear you again!

Thanks, well done!

I'm glad you made this video. I got started on your react series over a year ago and I have been following your videos ever since. (I also bought your node series, but haven't had a chance to dig in yet) I've been doing full stack work, but I'd like to get back into React. Your webpack config file was a great bootstrap for setting up a project, and I am curious if you might share an updated config file in webpack 2 or 3. I haven't been able to follow the community recently, but I would like to start developing a react app again.

Nicely structured vid dude

Will we get a Web Development 2019 video by end of 2018?

Waiting for the 2019 of this video

Great one.Thanks for the valuable info.

Great work, so well thought out .

hello!!! thanks for the video!! more React intermediate video please!! thanks again

Thanks very much for this! Really helpful!

I am currently learning JavaScript then I am going to learn node.js then mongoDB then express then react or angular .I knew core java too.

You forgot other languages, that compiles to javascript (for example clojurescript) anyway, good job :) well explained

What a greeeeat video man ! ! ! You'd avoid me to wast my time thank you so much and god bless you

Yes, love this video!

This a great breakdown!

Excellent!

Thanks for the amazing video.

And the question of the year 2019 is "When does the 2019 video comes out?"

Will there be an update for 2020? Would be great!

Thank you for this wonderful guide. I find it really helpful. However, I have a question for you. How can I get real practical experience? Maybe you have some advices.

Great video! Thanks!
