Why is it called UI/UX designer?
UX is an umbrella term covering many design disciplines, like interaction design, UI design or research.
UI is a subset of UX.
Someone who is good at interaction design, IA, research and UI is nowadays called (digital) product designer.
It’s somewhat frustrating that the design industry can’t agree to use the right terms.
Also the guide missed to mention Axure or Just in Mind, which are real prototyping tools allowing you to prototype working forms and data grids, which are heavily used in business / enterprise apps.
The other tools mentioned, apart from Framer, are closer to creating clickable slideshows rather than sophisticated prototypes.
I would recommend these resources

And most importantly start creating as soon as poosible… learning by doing, eg recreate one of your favourite apps or site… you will learn a lot.
