Top Resources Every Web Developer Should Bookmark ๐
As web developers, we are always on the lookout for resources that can make our lives a bit easierโwhether it's a comprehensive documentation, a handy library, or a tool that simplifies our workflow. In this post, I am going to share some of my personal favorite resources that I believe every web developer should have in their bookmarks. ๐
1. MDN Web Docs
When it comes to documentation, MDN Web Docs is the Holy Grail for web developers. Whether you're new to web development or have been in the field for years, MDN is a resource you'll find yourself returning to time and again. It's a comprehensive repository of information on HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and web APIs.
echo "Bookmark MDN for easy access to web development documentation!"
2. GitHub
Now, who isn't familiar with GitHub? It's the largest host of source code in the world. GitHub is not just about storing your projects; it's also an excellent platform to contribute to open source projects and collaborate with other developers.
git clone https://github.com/username/repository-name.git
Clone your favorite repository and start contributing!
3. Stack Overflow
Got a coding issue that's been bugging you for hours? Chances are, someone has faced the same issue and itโs documented on Stack Overflow. With its vast community of developers, it is the go-to platform for getting answers to your most pressing coding questions or contributing by helping others with their questions.
echo "Stack Overflow should be your go-to for troubleshooting coding issues."
4. CodePen
CodePen is an online community for testing and showcasing user-created HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code snippets. It's great for inspiration, experimentation, or just playing around with new ideas in a sandbox environment.
<!-- Use CodePen to quickly prototype your web design ideas -->

5. Can I Use
Working with web technologies that have varying degrees of support across different browsers can be a real headache. Can I Use provides up-to-date browser support tables for front-end web technologies on desktop and mobile browsers.
echo "Use 'Can I Use' to check for browser compatibility."
These resources are invaluable tools for any web developer, from beginners to seasoned pros. They can help you improve your skills, stay updated on new technologies, and become more efficient in your work. Remember, the tech world evolves quickly, and some of the links might be outdated as time goes on. Always keep an eye out for the next great resource!
