Excellent overview. I’m a very experienced developer, and even I got some good ideas. I’m building a large React application, and I didn’t know there was a Material UI library available for it, so thanks for that!

The only thing I would add, is information about CMS’s such as WorDPress, Joomla, etc as a very popular way for folks to get their foot in the door of local digital agencies. Yes, they are written in PHP, but so is Facebook, and other major sites. IIRC, WordPress alone makes up the largest single software platform for websites. Even if someone is not a developer, learning how to install and configure those sites is great for a personal learning project.

Thanks again for a great article and I’ll be following you for more.
