Interesting that there is no mention of eslint. I've always found that the best way to learn a new language is to immediately install the linter and its associated plugin for whatever IDE you're using for instant feedback about potential anti-patterns / dangerous code while you work. Also curious that there's no mention of typescript: a lot of companies have already made the transition because it makes huge projects…
When it comes to typescript, however, I believe that it's better to learn pure javascript first. Understanding -why- typescript is useful has a lot of value, and saying that you know typescript without having spent time using javascript would raise all kind of warning flags during an interview (focus on what's cool/trendy over deeper knowledge and a lack of desire to fully understand the environment in which you work, to mention some).
Also, a beginner frontend developer who reads a list of HTML tutorials will probably not spend a lot of time in "huge projects" in the beginning of their career.
I'm just disappointed the american flag is used to dictate english articles...

ESLint and typescript are more for an intermediate IMO, another list will follow this one and will surely mention ESLint and TypeScript.
Nice list. I’d also add Node and NPM since you can’t do much front-end without those these days.
"Can't do much without those"... Speak for yourself. Anything in frontend is possible without ever touching Node.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

@michaelwu, tried to keep it simple for a beginner, and I tried to follow the "web developer roadmap 2017". ESLint and typescript are more for an intermediate IMO, another list will follow this one and will surely mention ESLint and TypeScript.
Whether to include eslint or not may be worthy of discussion, but since both options have valid points I'll be happy to leave this discussion as is.
