frontend.fyi - From zero to fullstack

Background of my mentorships

Frontend is a craft — not a neccessary evil when building a website.

Giving frontend proper love is a key ingredient to building products that will stand out. Building these experiences, requires engineers who make this their sole specialism. I want to help you become one of them.

Nowadays frontend is a very extensive field. Every week there seem to be popping up a new standards, browsers are adopting new features quicker than ever before and you can build pretty much anything with frontend tooling. Where do you even start improving yourself? Will you ever have to time to learn it all?!

Exactly why I am opinionated (I don't do Angular 😉 — huge fan of React, but always open for new things on the horizon). I'm convinced that if you want to grow in frontend, you need to focus. Focus on the things that are important right now, don't jump on every hype train and focus on the fundamentals of frontend. These fundamentals apply to every new framework that comes around.

My goal is to teach you create online experiences that stand out, by making frontend the most important piece of the puzzle. I'll teach you to make the craziest things with CSS — even fall in love with CSS. I will show you there's a whole group of visually impaired people out there who also try to use the web, or people who don't have the same speedy internet as you. I will also convince you that TypeScript is not as scary as you might think 🫣.

I will show you areas of frontend you never knew existed. That includes anything from CSS, accessibility, performance, JavaScript/TypeScript, to library specific things like React or NextJS, or more technical things like generating types from your backend API's to make frontend life easier.

I will make you a frontend engineer that will stand out above the rest.

Besides all the technical stuff, I've also worked in a lot of different teams and with a lot of different clients. Many of them also requiring me to grow in my soft skills. I'm sure I'll have some great advice in that as well.
