The most essential list of resources for Front-End beginners (🇺🇸 & 🇫🇷)

If you want to learn how to become a Front-End developer, you are in the right place!

I will regularly update that list with new resources and links I found on the web. Don't hesitate to participate by sending a PR! Maybe your first on Github :)

I'm using some emoticons to give you more information on these links.

1. All links without a flag are in English 🇺🇸 🇬🇧. The flag 🇫🇷 means the resource is in French, 🌍 means the resource is multi-language.
2. 💰 are paid tutorials, 🆓 are free tutorials. Sometimes you will have some free videos / articles and other paid on the same website.
3. 🔝 indicate that the link is a reference
4. 📹 is present when video content is available
