Become-A-Full-Stack-Web-Developer/README.md

## 100+ Free resources for learning Full Stack Web Development.

The list below isn't meant to be exclusive, it's more so a collection of links that have helped me out along the way (and can hopefully help you). As you'll see, I've focused on JavaScript, React, and Node.js. There is also a wealth of information on interview prep and applying to jobs.

I've still got a lot of bookmarks to go through, so I'll be updating and adding links as I go. If you have a contribution, please feel free to submit a PR!
