HTML5 Boilerplate

Download the HTML5 Boilerplate template from the official website (https://html5boilerplate.com/). You can choose to download the standard or the enhanced version, depending on your needs.

The ol' HTML5 boilerplate project does favicons in three lines:

Also https://html5boilerplate.com might be good starting point.

Learn to a medium degree of proficiency HTML and CSS. Dig through something like the source code for https://html5boilerplate.com/ and try to understand why they're doing the things that they're doing. Learn Git and use it in practice. Even if you're just working on your own code.

Do you guys still use HTML5 Boilerplate when starting new projects? https://html5boilerplate.com/

2. Html Boilerplate

Wasn't this moved into Modernizr? There's a library I haven't thought of in a long time.

Oh, yep. There it is at the bottom:

> April 2011: IEPP v2 comes out. Modernizr and the html5shiv inherit the latest code. Meanwhile developers everywhere continue to use HTML5 elements in a cross-browser fashion without worry.

Paul Irish also started (or helped start) the html5 boilerplate project[1], which I am surprised to see is still actively being developed. I relied on that boilerplate for so many of my years of my early career (started full-time front-end in 2011). If you want another blast of nostalgia, check out the earlier releases[2,3] of it. I'm so happy I don't have to use conditional IE statements in my html anymore

Naturally, we got curious. How does the freeCodeCamp repository manage to pull this off with such precision? So, we strapped on our thinking caps and started digging into their deployment stats, workflows, and codebases.

I'm a beginner in frontend development, currently only familiar with basic HTML and JavaScript. I'm looking to learn React next and considering using freeCodeCamp (https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp) as my learning resource.

Has anyone here used freeCodeCamp for learning frontend, especially React? How was your experience? Is it effective for self-learners?

I'd appreciate any insights on:
