Roadmap to becoming a web developer in 2017

Re:Roadmap to becoming a web developer in 2017 by et-al on Monday March 27, 2017 @07:11PM (#13972642)

CSS needs to be included. CSS is the polish that changes a proof of concept into a presentable product.

There's a number of Show HN projects that I'm hesitant to invest much time in because they look like the author won't bother maintaining them months down the line. Even your nicely made tutorial has CSS. ;)

btw feedback:

* For some reason it wasn't evident to me that the left black box was editable and I actually interacted with the right-side wondering why nothing was happening. Perhaps use something that doesn't have an interaction so I don't try to click the button at first glance.

* Found myself scrolling up and an down a lot to read the next few instructions and updating the code. If things were side by side, this would be easier.

* It'd be nice to step backwards for the instructions

* The pre-formatted code in the instructions is a bit small. Might be hard to read for some people

I would happily pay a consultant $300 an hour to do the CSS for my websites. I imagine someone who specialized in CSS could do in 10 minutes what would take me several hours of googling and hair-pulling frustration.

I will do this for you in one-hour minimums. Just send me the list of wants and the git URL+creds or tarball/zip. Contact me through any channel, satisfaction guaranteed.

I wonder how many can work in CSS these days? The proliferation of CSS frameworks/compilers is nearly as bad as javascript.

Oh you are so right, my bad, CSS of course - updating my original post, I just blanked.

Those are good points - I need to figure out how to fit the instructions in while still having space for the editor and others. And yes to the others, I'll try to get them incorporated. Thank you!!!
