I would recommend adding HTML5 Doctor http://html5doctor.com/ as they do a very good job of explaining the specific use cases of the semantic elements in html5 which is something many people either overlook or they use incorrectly. I really like it!

I'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!

The 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.

Thanks for the feedback! Anything to add in terms of tech I'm missing or better links?

Honestly, it was just the order I added them in. It could really use some reorganizing, and if you can contribute that'd be even better!

You should have links to webplatform.org - this is a varied collection of docs and tutorials contributed by browser vendors and other key web players, via the W3C.
