Why Fundamentals Before Frameworks

Many courses jump straight into React, Vue, or Angular. This is backwards. Frameworks come and go—React wasn't always dominant, and something else will eventually replace it. But HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are the foundations the web is built on. Understanding these properly means you can learn any framework quickly when needed.

When you understand how browsers parse HTML, how the cascade works in CSS, and how JavaScript actually manipulates the DOM, you're not just memorizing syntax—you're understanding how web development actually works. This makes you adaptable and capable of solving problems independently.

Frameworks abstract away complexity. That's useful once you understand what they're abstracting. But if you start with frameworks, you're building on sand. When something breaks or behaves unexpectedly, you won't know why or how to fix it.

This course takes longer initially than "Build 10 Projects in React" courses. But you'll finish with genuine understanding that transfers across all web development contexts, not just memorized patterns that only work in one specific framework.

Who This Course Is For

This Course Is For You If:

  • You want to understand web development from the ground up
  • You're willing to write code from scratch before using libraries
  • You value understanding over quickly producing results
  • You're prepared for 10-14 weeks of consistent practice
  • You want skills that transfer across frameworks and tools

This Course Is NOT For You If:

  • You want to start building in React/Vue immediately
  • You're looking for quick portfolio projects over understanding
  • You expect to become job-ready in a few weeks
  • You're not comfortable with reading documentation
  • You prefer watching videos to writing code
Important Disclaimer

This course teaches web programming fundamentals. It does NOT guarantee employment, specific salary levels, or rapid career transitions. Learning to build websites well takes months of consistent practice. While we provide structured learning and guidance, outcomes depend entirely on your effort, dedication, prior experience, and market conditions. Web development is a skill that requires ongoing learning as technologies evolve.
