IMO clicking rails should show sass also. It shows less which can also be used with rails, but if I'm not mistaken sass is still the default. I'm sending you a pull request now. I didn't remove less, I figured you could consider that yourself, just added sass to rails.

#22"SQL" is not a database.
Well, to all too many people I've encountered (who consider phrase "Are you using SQL or Oracle?" a sane question), it is, as "SQL" means "Microsoft SQL Server".
But that's clearly not what was intended here...

#23A good list so far.
The lack of XML though, in addition to JSON's claim of being the ubiquitous data transfer format, seems a bit hyperbolic.

#24I'm not sure if the order is supposed to matter that much, but I feel like the blocks should be ordered from easy to hard. Why is PHP at the end of the list? Why is JSON so close to the front? But yea, I just think the ordering could be better, still a nice resource!
Why would a data format not be very early in the list if ordered by simplicity or ease of learning? JSON is both..

#25The title and the pitch on the actual site are kind of disingenuous. This is a collection of resources to learn web development. Its hardly a cheat sheet or "everything you need to know". A cheat sheet would be a succinct set of syntax/concepts/examples required to get by. Having said that, its a pretty website and its a worthy cause so please don't take my critique too critically.
Especially since most of the links are just to the original projects' homepages...

It should be ordered alphabetically, with the colour of the block showing the difficulty or learning order (simple/compulsory = green, hard/niche = red).

It seems to be in order of relevance -- that would explain PHP being at the end. :)

#29everything about web development... apart from the two of the biggest languages/platforms for web development.
And what are those two?

#30Since a portion of beginners are interested in employment, I wonder how much of this sheet needs to be 'filled in' to become employable at a minimum, junior position?
I've found that the threshold between beginner -> employable is really fuzzy and that's a bit frustrating.
