Sure, you're right. They are quite good. But just from my perspective, I've been a backend engineer for most of my professional career and wanted to pick up front end dev. With little javascript/html/css knowledge, I used a couple different resources. I'm still learning, but I've found that just the official documentation doesn't quite get you there if you want to get the full picture.

I've been working through the following resources with a decent amount of success I think:

1. Fullstack React: The Complete Guide [0] - a wonderful book with a bunch of practical applications to build

2. Learn CSS Layout [1] - A nice write up for understanding what CSS actually is doing

3. Mozilla HTML Reference [2] - Can't get any better than this documentation

4. Eloquent Javascript 3rd Edition - Book being discussed, really enjoying working through it.

Obviously, the React and Redux documentation have been great as well. I don't think that just those really give you the full picture that you need though if you actually want to build professional web applications.

Just another side of the coin, I suppose.

You’re absolutely correct and I don’t disagree. However I’d like to offer an alternative: unless you build a real world project you won’t ever feel comfortable with your learning. I used to be just like you, try to cover as much ground as possible through (explicit) knowledge (books, blogs, videos, you name it) but whenever I applied that to the real thing, turns out there was always something missing, that I didn’t plan for. (I’m assuming you value your time and try to maximize as much of it as possible) Now what I do: I still look for resources BUT those that cover the minimum required (THE FUNDAMENTALS) and build upon that knowledge through practice and better target research/reading.
