The thing I was most interested in was backbone, and it just links to the original site. I mean the colors are nice but this is pretty much useless.
I need suggestions for backbone! Any good links? https://github.com/JonHMChan/bento/tree/gh-pages
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.

If you don't mean to critique harshly, then please choose a word other than "disingenuous". I see the word misused a lot to mean something like "misleading", but it actually means that the author intentionally, duplicitously was trying to mislead the user. It is an insult used to question the intentions of the person it is used toward.
Here are some synonyms from Google: insincere, dishonest, untruthful, false, deceitful, duplicitous, lying. Clearly those words are not generally used politely.
Only works for me in Chromium. Firefox is displaying "box.name" and "box.description" instead of their values.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Also disappointed about the lack of ASP . MVC.net - but so it goes, I would hope it wasn't being intentionally ignored out of some personal bias. Either way, the site is still a pretty nice resource even if it fails to recognize some stacks.
This is not the first time I've noticed this omittance on HN posts. Even though ASP.NET is one of the biggest web development frameworks on the planet, used by many, many companies, a lot of these so called web developers pretend like it doesn't even exist. Have they even used C# I wonder? The Microsoft grudge runs deep in Silicon Valley.
This is great! Thanks! As a beginner, figuring out what to learn, as opposed to how to learn, is a struggle. This provides a pretty great roadmap and explains how things fit together. As for feedback, you could potentially add: -Hartl tutorial to the rails section -Udacity to the python section.
beautiful

I'm sorry that you feel the word disingenuous has too strong a negative connotation but I won't curb my speech because of your opinion. If I were to follow that line of thinking I'd have also used a word other than critique because many people foster the opinion that it too has a strictly negative connotation.
Hm, looks nice! The coloring of the columns doesn't seem to be meaningful in any way I can come up with. I think it would make more sense if things were grouped into categories (e.g. databases, web frameworks, frontend languages, backend languages, style/presentation). If you use color I would make it meaningful (e.g. represent order of learning things with color something?).
