Project mention: Ask HN: Recommendation for Front End development sources for Back end Developer | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-12-09
You can pretty quickly put something together using MUI.com, their community templates (https://mui.com/store/#populars), or their low-code framework (https://mui.com/toolpad/).
I learned all my frontend stuff on LinkedIn Learning (formerly Lynda). My colleague likes frontendmasters.com.
If you're used to writing a lot of APIs and backend stuff, the frontend world is different in that it's a lot declarative markup and not as much logic. There's almost no OOP in frontend anymore; it's mostly just a bunch of HTML (or JSX, which is basically React-in-XML-that-looks-like-HTML). The JS array and object "iterable" methods (map, filter, flatMap, etc.) are used a lot, but not really for data manipulation, just to put response objects on-screen.
Take a look at some of the example MUI templates to get an idea of how these things are put together. Once you do one or two it should become pretty straightforward.
There's a lot of 80/20 stuff in the frontend, as in you can get the basics of it pretty quickly, and then spend a lifetime diving into CSS rules and all that. But with MUI, you don't really need to drop down to that level of detail – it's all abstracted into well-documented and well-tested components with their own APIs.
