Web Development Self Learning Program for Beginners

Microsoft announced Web Development  Self Learning Program for Beginners.

Web Development for Beginners - A Curriculum 

Microsoft announced Web Development Program Self Learning for Beginners. Interested Peoples can Join and learn web development technologies. Program Name Called 'Web Dev for Beginners' is hosted on GitHub and YouTube. 

 Azure Cloud Advocates at Microsoft offer a 12-week, 24-lesson curriculum all about JavaScript, CSS, and HTML basics.

Microsoft also wrote several starter lessons in JavaScript basics to introduce concepts, paired with video from the "Beginners Series to: JavaScript" collection of video tutorials, some of whose authors contributed to this curriculum.

While we have purposefully avoided introducing JavaScript frameworks so as to concentrate on the basic skills needed as a web developer before adopting a framework, a good next step to completing this curriculum would be learning about Node.js via another collection of videos: "Beginner Series to: Node.js".

Each lesson includes:

• optional sketch note
• optional supplemental video
• pre-lesson warmup quiz
• written lesson
• for project-based lessons, step-by-step guides on how to build the project
• knowledge checks
• a challenge
• supplemental reading
• assignment
• post-lesson quiz

Instruction:

          We have chosen two pedagogical tenets while building this curriculum: ensuring that it is project-based and that it includes frequent quizzes. By the end of this series, students will have built a typing game, a virtual terrarium, a 'green' browser extension, a 'space invaders' type game, and a business-type banking app, and will have learned the basics of JavaScript, HTML, and CSS along with the modern toolchain of today's web developer.
