Much much thanks. Amazing. This helps a lot for beginner developers such as me.
- Saeed AhmadDec 14, 2019
  
  Thank you so much for your appreciation Hina. You can ping me anytime for help in ReactJS and Django.
  - Hina-softwareEngineerDec 14, 2019
    
    Yeah sure. One rise by rising others!
    - Saeed AhmadDec 14, 2019
      
      Absolutely. I feel great when I help others.
JoshDec 14, 2019

Django is so bad though 😩

Like, I would honestly take a five-years outdated version of Rails over today's version of Django >.>
- Vicente G. ReyesDec 14, 2019
  
  I would love to hear the reason why you think Django is bad😀
  - Max Ong Zong BaoDec 14, 2019
    
    On a scale of 1 - 10 how bad is it? That you have to use 5 years old outdated version of Rails? I bet it's not a security aspect I guess?
- Paweł ŚwiątkowskiDec 14, 2019
  
  Rube dev here. I'd like to know your reasons for hating Django too. I don't have mu experience in it, but generally in many aspects it seems better designed than Rails.
  - Saeed AhmadDec 15, 2019
    
    I haven't worked on Rails but Django's structure is a great thing.
- Ben SinclairDec 14, 2019
  
  I haven't used it for 5 years or so, but it was pretty damn good back then. What's changed?
  - Saeed AhmadDec 14, 2019
    
    I don't see anything bad in it. Yeah it has a lot of django-specific clutter but still it's amazing once you have a good grip on it. What are the reasons due to which you didn't like it?
Williams OluwafemiDec 14, 2019

Nice article, but none of these tutorials teach you superhuman strength or speed though ;)
- Saeed AhmadDec 15, 2019
  
  I think if you do even a single end-to-end project you are more confident in presenting your skills then. Also, these are for beginners. So, you can relate.
  - Williams OluwafemiDec 16, 2019
    
    Well I'm beginner to think someone's salty lol
    - Saeed AhmadDec 16, 2019
      
      Oh that's cool though.

Great resource! Thanks for this
- Saeed AhmadDec 14, 2019
  
  Thanks for your appreciation. Will you want to add some others which you think would be great for newbies?
Saeed AhmadDec 14, 2019

Good to hear that. Let us know about your progress in this regard. We would love to hear that.
Saeed AhmadDec 14, 2019

Great Edwin.
- Majid QureshiDec 15, 2019
  
  Good work saeed ! . I wanted to know about firebase this seems ideal to learn
  - Saeed AhmadDec 15, 2019
    
    Thank you so much Majid. Stay tuned. I will share more free resources soon.
    - Majid QureshiDec 15, 2019
      
      I m waiting !!!! .
      - Saeed AhmadDec 15, 2019
        
        Thanks bro.
Saeed AhmadDec 14, 2019

Thank you so much for appreciation. I will soon share more free resources.
Saeed AhmadDec 14, 2019

Yeah. But it's good for beginners. The list contains projects which use MySQL and MongoDB as well. So, that makes sense I guess. To start with Firebase and then move on to conventional DBs.
Asaju EnitanDec 14, 2019

None for Angular
- Saeed AhmadDec 14, 2019
  
  Correctly pointed out. Yeah you can add one but I thought according to React's demand and popularity.
  - Asaju EnitanDec 15, 2019
    
    hmm okay
    Maybe I'll just create an Angular version of any of them, sounds good to me
    - Saeed AhmadDec 15, 2019
      
      Yeah that would be best. Let us know then how was your journey with Angular?
      - Asaju EnitanDec 15, 2019
        
        so far for from a beginner standpoint, it's okay
        I experienced some head-splitting headache moments but so far, I don't intend to drop it
        
        Saeed AhmadDec 15, 2019
        
        Yeah beginning is difficult but SO and people here can help you. Do ask us if something is difficult for you to understand. We are here to help you.
        
        Asaju EnitanDec 15, 2019
        
        I'll be sure to do that
        thank you :)
        
        Saeed AhmadDec 15, 2019
        
        Great. Looking forward to hear from you. You are welcome.

z2laiDec 14, 2019

Thanks for that tip man. I'm already familiar with SQL server and MongoDB so I wasn't too keen on learning yet another database.
- Saeed AhmadDec 15, 2019
  
  Yes. These tutorials are for beginners. That's why I included Firebase, MongoDB and MySQL as well.
Kóredé BashirDec 14, 2019

This is beautiful! Thanks for sharing, Saeed

  That's great Bashir. Thanks for appreciation. Stay tuned. I will share more free resources soon.

Why no Spring Boot? Clearly it's one of the most used RDFs in n use today.
- Sai UpadhyayulaDec 14, 2019
  
  You can have look at the below playlist, it's about building a full stack Reddit clone with spring boot and angular.
  
  youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSVW22j...
  
  Note that this series is not complete yet.
  
  I have another playlist which is completed.
  
  Building a simple blog with spring boot and angular
  
  youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSVW22j...
- Saeed AhmadDec 15, 2019
  
  Yeah. But I though according to a new person who is learning backend. So, I think he should be comfortable with Django, Flask and NodeJS. After that he can pick up Spring Boot.
Sinan P. = NPDec 15, 2019
I honestly don't know why anyone would want to be a fullstack dev. I worked for multiple unicorns, I worked for start ups where there was an abundance of work to be done. In both cases full stack devs are always pushed to play with the mediocre, boring parts of both worlds. "oh here you go, set up this api while we experiment with all the cool stuff in the backend". And in both cases fullstacks were paid less because they don't need to have as much critical thinking skills as all in backend. I certainly agree that every dev should have full stack skills, it really helps when you are experimenting with stuff, or simply building your own company. Being able to bootstrap your product is a huge plus. I wouldn't do it with any of the languages mentioned here but yeah :) and don't get me wrong, I am not saying as developers they are inferior or anything. I just would never apply to a fullstack position because of the scope of their duties
- Donovan BerginDec 15, 2019
  
  If you focus on one point in the stack, you can pivot more easily. Swapping from dotnet core to spring boot for backend is way easier than swapping languages and frameworks for both your api and UI.
  - Majid QureshiDec 15, 2019
    
    Absolutely correct
    - Saeed AhmadDec 17, 2019
      
      Yeah Donovan. You are correct..
- RealsammyDec 15, 2019
  
  You're absolutely correct, sticking to a stack and become the best is better.
  - Saeed AhmadDec 15, 2019
    
    Yeah I think focus should be on one language at both stacks. It's a better decision in the long run.
Jerry HepperleDec 15, 2019

This felt more like a Great FCC ad than an article. But kudos nonetheless for highlighting a great source of free training.
- Saeed AhmadDec 15, 2019
  
  Yeah I chose FCC videos because it's free and tutorials are awesome too.
Vusi MbhamaliDec 15, 2019

This is really helpful Saeed. It will go a long way, I needed this. Thank you once again.
- Saeed AhmadDec 15, 2019
  
  Thanks Vusi. Stay tuned. I will share more free resources for beginners.
Ben SinclairDec 15, 2019
I'm not a fan of phrases like this, like "rockstar" or "ninja", etc.
I'd like to comment on this particular one though: it's very gendered. It's very "bro".
I can't imagine anyone making a post called "How to become a full stack Wonder Woman" without raising eyebrows, so I'm going to raise my eyebrow at this one.
- Saeed AhmadDec 15, 2019
  Oh it's not like that. I just included the word 'Superman' to get maximum traction. Otherwise I think superman or superwoman both are equal and amazing.
  - Ben SinclairDec 15, 2019
    FWIW, if you're after traction, there are people like me who will stop reading after the launch of the first traction-seeking missile :)
    - Saeed AhmadDec 15, 2019
      But I have updated the title. I think that makes sense.
      - MaximMay 22, 2020
        Nah, that doesn't make sense for unicorns like the complainer who just wanna troll or push some "gender" agenda as far as they can, so I urge u (yeah, I know it might be too late) to completely ignore these BS complaints.
  - SteveDec 15, 2019
    
    I giggled at this one a little. XD
    - Saeed AhmadDec 16, 2019
      Hahaha. You can laugh too but that's how content writing works.
- Saeed AhmadDec 15, 2019
  
  BTW updated the title.
- TohztDec 15, 2019
  Don't strain your forehead raising that eyebrow...
  
  Be proud of your incredibly petty complaint. But if a women is turned away from programming because she doesn't like the use of a fictional male figure in place of a fictional female ane, then she doesn't have the logical thinking skills to be interested in this field.
  
  And to be honest, I doubt many women have a problem with what you're complaining about. They either want to learn about this topic, so they look into it. Or they don't, so they don't.
  - Saeed AhmadDec 15, 2019
    
    Haha. Your comment can create controversies.
    - TohztDec 15, 2019
      That's fine. Doesn't take much heat to melt a snowflake 🤷‍♂️
      - temilolaDec 15, 2019
        As a woman it is your whole attitude Tohtz that makes working with a person like you not possible. I bet you when you work with women you set standards that you can't even meet. You think that by being a jerk you are being equitable and that you are tough. No you are not. In this case, there is nothing wrong with pointing out to include women. A lot of us like the fact that we are women especially in a field that was first mainly female. The only snowflake are boys like you who feel the need to pretend they know what women will be offended by. Asking for an honorable mention IS not a political offense.
        
        TohztDec 15, 2019
        Congratulations on making assumptions so you have something to complain about. Tell me, what standards do I set for others that I can't meet myself?
        
        If a women wants to read an article about tips on progressing with full-stack development, she would not be deterred because the title mentioned superman and not superwoman... It's rather petty to say otherwise, and quite a disrespectful statement about women.
        
        Keep in mind, this is a topic within the context of programming. A paradigm that requires logical thinking. And bitching about the genitals in a fake clickbait superhero does not make for a logical train of thought.
        
        I studied computer science with plenty of women. They were badass individuals who loved programming. Not really the type to let something this insignificant get in their way.
        
        Saeed AhmadDec 16, 2019
        
        Yeah I agree on that man but what can we do with the people. They will keep poking their nose in irrelevant matters.
        
        Saeed AhmadDec 16, 2019
        
        Ahan. That was not that much serious gal! I have included women too in the title. I have been working with Gals in the programming and one of them is my role model too.
        
        Ben CalderDec 16, 2019
        Saeed: if you post articles that perpetuate the idea that the dev industry is the preserve of some special elite (or people aiming to be part of it): be it code bros'; superheros; ninjas; whatever... whether intentionally or not you are part of a problem. The fact that you are backing up someone making overtly misogynistic comments also doesn't do you any favours.
        
        You're posting on a public forum; so expect people to "poke their nose in" when you cross a fairly obvious line. People are not simply trying to "prove you wrong"; they're trying to educate you.
        
        If it's not obvious to you why, and you're not willing to learn from others, then take some responsibility and educate yourself. Find out why using diminutives ("girls", "gals" etc.) to talk about women - whilst you use superlatives to talk about a largely male contingent - has for some an exclusionary effect. Discover why humility, patience and understanding are far better personality traits to cultivate for a developer than striving to become a ninja, superhero fullstack dev.
        
        Saeed AhmadDec 17, 2019
        Yeah that's completely okay and I appreciate that. I am not on anyone's side. I was just trying to justify that if I didn't include SUPERWOMAN in my title, that was not intentional. Hope you will try to understand my point as well. Now this discussion is completely out of context. My intention was to give beginners a list of tutorials and that's successful. If you can see I have also used the words SUPERWOMAN in the title and you can see my other comments too how I interact with women. So, you are correct in your stance too but I expect you to my understand my point as well.
        
        TohztDec 18, 2019
        Ben, the only ones with the "overtly misogynistic comments" are the ones saying that women aren't capable of going after what they want unless there is a female mentioned in the title.. Your white-knighting and virtue-signaling are not only pathetic but disrespectful to women.
        
        Bitch about something that's actually problematic. And have a bit more confidence in women. They are as capable as men in many ways. If something interests me, I'm not going to let the word 'princess' in the article header stop me. Nor will a woman who's interested in the content of this article be thwarted by the word 'superman'. Your petty nonsense helps no one. Your desire to believe that women are inferior is counter to the message you pretend to stand for.
        
        Do better.
        
        Ben CalderDec 18, 2019
        Tohzt. Where did I say that women aren't capable of going after what they want?
        I'm just suggesting that we can make the industry more welcoming if we tone down the overtly macho language. If I'm being disrespectful to women by suggesting that then I'll apologise: but I want to hear it from an established member of this community and not someone who - from what I can see - joined with the sole intent of trolling this thread.
        
        You said:
        
        They are as capable as men in many ways.
        
        So by implication you're saying that there are some ways in which women aren't as capable as men? That looks like an overtly misogynistic comment to me...
        
        You can read a woman's view on this topic in Technically wrong; and there are plenty of other women rightly complaining about the male-centric language used in the dev community.
  - lshem16Dec 15, 2019
    This is a pretty misogynistic attitude tbh.
    - TohztDec 15, 2019
      On the contrary. I think women are mature enough to look past such petty details. They wouldn't let something as benign as a fictional characters gender get in the way of them perusing their interests.
      - lshem16Dec 15, 2019
        I am glad you feel confident speaking for how women should and will react to stuff.
        
        TohztDec 15, 2019
        Are you suggesting they aren't as competent as I believe? Sounds pretty misogynistic to me...
        
        lshem16Dec 15, 2019
        
        Sure.
        
        Saeed AhmadDec 16, 2019
        Noooo. Woman are great specially programmmer Gals!!!
        
        Saeed AhmadDec 16, 2019
        
        Hahah
        
        lshem16Dec 16, 2019
        FWIW your original title was fine, although "Superhero" would have probably side-stepped the whole thing. But troll dudes speaking on behalf of all women... Fuck that noise. Tech's got enough issues without codebros lifting their leg and peeing on everything.
        
        catalin560Dec 16, 2019
        @lshem16 could you shut the fuck up...
        I'm glad there are still people like @Tohzt that speak the truth and doesn't get offended by the mention of a character... maybe you don't want to be a Superman, that's okay, but don't you insult everybody else...
        @lshem16 you're the troll here...
        
        Saeed AhmadDec 16, 2019
        
        Thanks bro. I don't know why people would assume things about people and ignore the context.
  - MaximMay 22, 2020
    I like how they tagged this comment as non-constructive. Made my day
- DanDec 15, 2019
  Get over yourself dude. These are community provided works, and free. If you are looking for malice and to be offended, you'll always find it.
  - Saeed AhmadDec 16, 2019
    
    Yep all projects are free!!!
- Sinan P. = NPDec 15, 2019
  Curious on why rockstar and ninja are gendered. There are a lot of female rock stars. Furthermore the data shows rock bands that include at least one female member are getting labels deals at 8 times the rate of all male rock bands. Female bands are also selling significantly more. I also know over 10 cases where the bands' record deals were revoked because a female member left the band purely out of personal decision and a shift in their interests. If anything there stars to be bias against males in the music industry. Can't speak to ninja as I don't know any male or female ninjas but if you are going to make such comments please do some research. Opinions are irrelevant and even dangerous on such sensitive subjects. We are not going to end sexism with speculations but with precise strikes to the source of the problem.
  
  Edit: there were also a lot of female rock stars in the 80s, arguably the most misogynistic times of rock n roll so I don't know of time where rock star purely represented males.
  - Ben SinclairDec 15, 2019
    Rock star and ninja aren't particularly gendered. What I was getting at was the trend a while ago for describing developers as something extraordinary, like "10x" or "guru" or something. The "superman" part was the gendered part. I was trying to convey that while I didn't like that type of term in general, it was the specific instance of being gendered that made it seem too much.
    If we can't flip the genders and still be comfortable with the sentence, then something's up with it, and I think most people would find a title like, "10 ways to be Supergirl with Javascript" to seem clunky.
    - Sinan P. = NPDec 15, 2019
      Oh my bad. Apologies, I misunderstood. Yes I agree with you on the superman part and the whole idea behind that "10x" trend.
      - Saeed AhmadDec 16, 2019
        Yeah I agree on that. I have updated the title name though. Supergirls are awesome by the way!
        
        Ben CalderDec 16, 2019
        
        Supergirls are awesome by the way!
        
        Great, but why "supergirls" and not "superwomen"? I see that at least you managed to use the latter in your revised title, but in your comments you're not demonstrating much awareness of the issue being raised here.
        
        I'd recommend against all the click-bait superlatives and "we're all trying to be rock-star devs" nonsense. I gave up reading the article as soon as I got to "fullstack ninja". I came to the comments to say as much and saw someone already had.
        
        For those who don't want to conform to the gendered, macho stereotypes you're perpetuating it is all very off-putting.
        
        Saeed AhmadDec 16, 2019
        Man! Every woman is a girl too. Why you people are hell-bent on proving someone wrong?
        
        BRNKDec 4, 2021
        I'm amazed you didn't get "cancelled" from the internet. These whiney ass people have far too much time on their hands.
  - kurisutofuDec 16, 2019
    Well, if we take the literal Japanese term of ninja, it is gendered ;) A female ninja is called kunoichi :)
    - Saeed AhmadDec 16, 2019
      
      Wuhooo. Thanks for info. I will use this term in future posts.
- catalin560Dec 16, 2019
  how is this a valid critic? you completely ignored the content... the title was obviously meant as a joke...
  - Saeed AhmadDec 16, 2019
    
    HAhahaha.
- Sooz RichmanJan 31, 2020
  
  Agreed. Superhero is a simple non-gendered replacement for the title. But so is rockstar. I was going to say "ninja" too but now I know that is a male gender name for someone of those skills after reading further in the comments.
  
  Regardless, thanks for sharing the free tutorial info!

daymboyDec 15, 2019

I have very basic knowledge about django so simply following along with the video(4) give some meaning to my time or should i be more through woth the topics ?
lshem16Dec 15, 2019

These are fantastic ideas.
lshem16Dec 15, 2019

What? Why? It gives you a full No-SQL database and serverless functions out of the box. It's a fully-managed full-stack setup. You CAN ignore the backend and just use the web libraries, but you can also build a full set of Flask or Express microservices on top. It's awesome.
- Saeed AhmadDec 16, 2019
  
  I guess it's best but for beginners. And it make you a bit lazy too. You cannot understand backend completely until you endure the pains of setting it up manually. Thanks for your comment too.
asj092915Dec 15, 2019
Thanks so much Saeed. Really helpful info for me and Btw the title is just fine, I am a woman.
- Saeed AhmadDec 16, 2019
  Thank you soooooooo much Gal. You are absolutely a SUPERWOMAN. Go and rock the world!

No vue huh...
- Saeed AhmadDec 16, 2019
  
  I personally love Vue but I was forced to compile this list according to the requirements of the market.

      Yeah my strategy in this regard was to learn JS, then ReactJS and then you can move on to Angular, Vue or Svelte.

Thanks, @saeeddev . I'm glad you found these freeCodeCamp video tutorials so helpful. Thanks for helping raise awareness of them.

We publish new full-length courses each week on our nonprofit's YouTube channel. We just passed the 1.5 million subscriber mark this week, too.

Everything's free and there are no ads, either. I hope you all find these helpful in your coding journey.

  Thank you so much @ossia . You are inspiration for me and millions of devs like me. You are a great teacher and a person too. I have a great wish to talk with you. May be I can come across a chance to speak to you. Thank you so much for commenting here.

I swear "Superhero" would have worked just fine, if not better.

This is a good article by the way. Although I would still feel horrible about myself if I'm not able to complete all these projects in less than a month, thus I'm not good enough.

Your wording is really really interesting
