Ask HN: Where can one learn about boring web development?

1. curriculum

   1 1,860 11,162 9.8 JavaScript

   The open curriculum for learning web development

3. microblog

   2 222 4,692 0.0 Python

   The microblogging application developed in my Flask Mega-Tutorial series. This version maps to the 2024 Edition of the tutorial.

   

   This might be a good starting point:

   The Flask Mega Tutorial https://blog.miguelgrinberg.com/post/the-flask-mega-tutorial...

   I’m guessing there’s something similar for Ruby on Rails and Laravel.

   For persistence, consider Litestream/SQLite. Or just good old PostgreSQL. Or MariaDB.

4. fastapi

   3 554 86,991 9.8 Python

   FastAPI framework, high performance, easy to learn, fast to code, ready for production

   

   The Flask mega-tutorial is great - but I would recommend looking at fast Api today, rather than flask. That will in general only give you an Api though - you'd typically add on a pure js/ts front-end or something:

   https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/

   Or look at Django - for something more full-featured in python.

5. Nuxt.js

   4 207 42,699 8.0 TypeScript

   Discontinued Nuxt is an intuitive and extendable way to create type-safe, performant and production-grade full-stack web apps and websites with Vue 3. [Moved to: https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt]

   

   Start with Nuxt / Next and work your way to HTML. I say this after being a web developer since 2002.

   You will figure out what you need and what you do not very quickly this way.

   It won't be easy, but you'll end up with the skills you need in modern web dev.

   And be thankful you did not have to spend a decade dealing with cross browser issues. You have it very easy today.

   https://nuxtjs.org/ (I prefer Vue).

   https://nextjs.org/

6. Next.js

   5 2,358 132,889 10.0 JavaScript

   The React Framework

   </> htmx - high power tools for HTML

   

8. fresh

   7 135 13,167 9.3 TypeScript

   The next-gen web framework.

   

   Also, I suppose it's the opposite of boring - but I always liked the pragmatic streak in the deno project - it may very well be that fresh isn't a bad place to start?

9. Stream

   getstream.io featured

   Stream - Scalable APIs for Chat, Feeds, Moderation, & Video. Stream helps developers build engaging apps that scale to millions with performant and flexible Chat, Feeds, Moderation, and Video APIs and SDKs powered by a global edge network and enterprise-grade infrastructure.
