So I am usually more of a classical backend/ app developer guy. I like my Local compilers/interpeters whatever. Recently though i kinda started thinking about how Web Apps work, and how to actually make one, which lead me to the Realisation that i actually have no idea how any of it works. So I started a little private project using django, as I am quite good with python. But soon after starting i realized that that wouldnt be enough, i would need to learn the basics as well as a couple of languages.

So can the community recommend me some books and learning material on JavaScript, HTML and CSS as well on general Web development ? While we are at that matter, can someone give me a rundown on what the differences between Javascript, angular, jquery etc are?

    @LordKerwin So this may be a stupid question, but what is the DOM really? As far as i understand it, its simply a Layer between the HTML code and Javascript? But how does it apply that to the website?

    @muma the principles of object oriented Javascript is a really good intro and fast reading.

    As a general guide, I recommend "front-end developer handbook", available on gitbook. It's free.
