The Web Developer Roadmap by Kamran Ahmed (@kamranahmedse) has become a powerful resource for new self-taught web developers—especially those looking to change careers. Having a guide for your education certainly helps! But, what do all of these terms even mean? Why are they important? What happens if you don't know them?

In the first week of a 4-part series, Nicole dissects the Front-End portion of the Web Developer Roadmap, explaining:

• The problems that each concepts solve for web developers
• Why you'll need to know them
• And how they relate to other concepts of web development

Don't worry, there are no specific programming languages mentioned in this episode! Just sweet, sweet context, so you can get on with your education and build confidence.
