Conclusion

I know these are not all the things you may need to learn. You’ve probably heard me say in one of my courses how the Web is too inundated. There is so much available to choose from. And hence it may seem there is so much to learn .

My advice is this. The web is inundated with tools and Frameworks. However, the fundamental building grounds are still the same technologies. That means if you learn raw HTML,CSS, Javascript and so on. And become good at them. And continues to get even better by practicing . It doesn’t matter what tool comes your way because you’ll have a good foundation to enable you pick the right tools to use.

Last words : In Web design, you MUST NEVER stop learning.
