Hello guys, one of my readers asked me a couple of days ago - would you mind putting a weekly list for web development articles just like you have done for [Java](https://medium.com/javarevisited/10-articles-java-developers-should-read-this-week-7648edd18a22) and [Algorithms](https://medium.com/javarevisited/10-data-structure-and-algorithms-articles-programmer-should-read-this-week-585404a9403b)? Well, I was more than happy to look into *her* request because I also like to read Web Development articles, so it's not really tough for me to suggest some worth reading articles to you guys.

So, here I am with a handful of articles focusing on [Front-end development](https://dev.to/javinpaul/the-2019-web-development-frontend-backend-roadmap-4le2), [Javascript](http://www.java67.com/2019/01/top-10-javascript-frameworks-and-libraries-for-web-developers.html), [Web development](https://javarevisited.blogspot.com/2018/01/top-10-udemy-courses-for-java-and-web-developers.html) and those unicorn frameworks like [Angular](https://javarevisited.blogspot.com/2018/06/5-best-courses-to-learn-angular.html), [React](https://hackernoon.com/the-2018-react-js-roadmap-4d0a43814c02), and Vue.js.

> Btw, this list is by no means an exhaustive list and I would love to see some action from you guys. If you have a web development article, within Medium or outside medium, feel free to share it with us. I would love to read them.

Without wasting any more of your time, here is my list of 10 worth reading articles on Web Development this weekend:


### 19 Things You Need to Learn to Become an Effective Angular Developer by [Aphinya Dechalert]

The [Aphinya Dechalert] is my discovery of last week, I somehow stumble on this article and just become a fan of her writing. She is a superb writer and her knowledge of Angular, React and Web Development is just awesome.

From Angular God to learning React JS in 2 nights, I have read many of her stories in last couple of days and this one is my favorite one. If you are using Angular or learning Angular, this is the must-read article for you.




### The 2021 Web Developer (Frontend + Backed) RoadMap by [javinpaul](http://twitter.com/javinpaul)

My Illustration of the famous Web Developer RoadMap by [Kamran Ahmed](https://medium.com/@kamranahmedse), which has inspired many web developers since last year. A definite guide if you are learning Web Development in 2021.

I have also shared a lot of useful courses and links in this article, but if you have to choose just one resource to start your journey on Web development, there is nothing better than [**The Web Developer Bootcamp** ](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=JVFxdTr9V80&mid=39197&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.udemy.com%2Fthe-web-developer-bootcamp%2F)online course by @ColtSteele on Udemy. This is simply an awesome resource and I keep looking back on the course even now.

And, by any chance, if you somehow don't connect to The Colt's style of teaching (very unlikely), you should check out my another favorite [The Complete 2021 Web Development Bootcamp](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=JVFxdTr9V80&mid=39197&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.udemy.com%2Fcourse%2Fthe-complete-web-development-bootcamp%2F) by [Angela Yu]

### Top 5 GraphQL Courses for Beginners by [javinpaul](https://twitter.com/javinpaul)

This article contains some of the best courses to learn GraphQL for beginners and web developers.


I have shared five excellent courses to learn GraphQL in 2021 but if you ask my favorite, it's definitely [**The Modern GraphQL Bootcamp** ](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=JVFxdTr9V80&mid=39197&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.udemy.com%2Fgraphql-bootcamp%2F)(with Node.js and Apollo) by none other than [Andrew Meade](https://medium.com/@andrewjmeade), remember his [Node JS course](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=JVFxdTr9V80&mid=39197&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.udemy.com%2Fthe-complete-nodejs-developer-course-2%2F), one of the epic course on Udemy.

### 10 Websites to Learn JavaScript For Beginners by [javinpaul](https://medium.com/@javinpaul)

Another of mine article which shares some of the wonderful resources to learn JavaScript online. Since JavaScript is the backbone of Web Development, it's very important to [learn JavaScript](https://javarevisited.blogspot.com/2018/06/top-10-courses-to-learn-javascript-in.html) and learn it well. These resources will help you with that goal. It also includes some excellent free resources.


Btw, another useful JavaScript resource which I couldn't include in this article is [JavaScript Teacher](https://medium.com/@js_tut) free [JavaScript Grammer](http://www.javascriptgrammar.com/?v=bio) book, it's awesome and I just hope I would have known it earlier. He is also giving it FREE, so big thanks to [JavaScript Teacher](https://medium.com/@js_tut) for his kind gesture.

Btw, if you are interested in Angular then let me also suggest my favorite online course to learn Angular, you might have guessed it, it's [**Angular 8 (formerly Angular 2) --- The Complete Guide**](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=JVFxdTr9V80&mid=39197&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.udemy.com%2Fthe-complete-guide-to-angular-2%2F) by Maximilian Schwarzmüller, my favorite instructor on Udemy. You can see its also updated for Angular 8, which is awesome.



### TDD Changed My Life by [Eric Elliott](https://twitter.com/_ericelliott)

This is one discipline which has changed the lives of so many developers and I strongly recommend to everyone who codes. It seems daunting for the first time but as you learn and grow in experience, TDD will not only save a lot of time but also produce better quality code. This article is an awesome story and I strongly suggest [every coder](https://www.java67.com/2018/01/10-must-read-books-for-coders-of-all-level.html) read it.



And, if you love TDD or want to learn more about it. I also highly recommend the classic [Test Driven](http://www.amazon.com/Test-Driven-Acceptance-Java-Developers/dp/1932394850?tag=javamysqlanta-20) book I have read so many books on TDD and testing but no one comes close to this. It's just amazing.
