Ask HN: What are the best resources to learn modern web development and design?

19 points by donthaveaname 12y ago

Are there are any particular resources anyone would recommend for one to gain a comprehensive understanding of front-end web design and development (or even just stay abreast with modern trends)? In my current position I'm relegated to older technologies and practices and I can't seem to broach this new world of design/trends/technology without unveiling giant gaps in my understanding.

Thoughtbot's Upcase provides some excellent material for both development and design. I would highly recommend it.

This is one of my favorites sites to catch up on design trends and the code behind it. Take a look read some, code some, I'm sure you'll get used to how things are working in a couple of days. http://tympanus.net/codrops/ http://tympanus.net/codrops/

  I love this, thank you. I've picked up a few things in the past hour just by trying to replicate the demos.
