Ask HN: Which technical guides or cheatsheets are a must read for a developer?

13 pointsby gymshoesalmost 5 years ago
I was reading WCAG&#x27;s accessibility success criteria pages and the OWASP cheat sheets and they both ar e something that one needs to read through atleast once.<p>What are some other documents that are a must-read?

WCAG and OWASP indicate web development, probably front-end development.<p>You will want to learn the standard DOM methods. Walking the DOM as a tree structure as opposed to treating it as a database to query will increase your application capabilities. Learning to access the DOM without parsing a selector string will make your application many thousands of this new faster.<p>I suggest:<p>* <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gist.github.com&#x2F;thegitfather&#x2F;9c9f1a927cd57df14a59c268f118ce86" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gist.github.com&#x2F;thegitfather&#x2F;9c9f1a927cd57df14a59c26...</a><p>* <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;prettydiff.com&#x2F;2&#x2F;guide&#x2F;unrelated_dom.xhtml" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;prettydiff.com&#x2F;2&#x2F;guide&#x2F;unrelated_dom.xhtml</a><p>* Web APIs - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;developer.mozilla.org&#x2F;en-US&#x2F;docs&#x2F;Web&#x2F;API" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;developer.mozilla.org&#x2F;en-US&#x2F;docs&#x2F;Web&#x2F;API</a><p>* RegExp - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;developer.mozilla.org&#x2F;en-US&#x2F;docs&#x2F;Web&#x2F;JavaScript&#x2F;Guide&#x2F;Regular_Expressions&#x2F;Cheatsheet" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;developer.mozilla.org&#x2F;en-US&#x2F;docs&#x2F;Web&#x2F;JavaScript&#x2F;Guid...</a><p>* http - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;devhints.io&#x2F;http-status" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;devhints.io&#x2F;http-status</a>

For picking up language syntax quickly or reminding yourself when you&#x27;re learning a new one: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;learnxinyminutes.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;learnxinyminutes.com&#x2F;</a><p>And then for more robust language&#x2F;syntax support: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;rosettacode.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Rosetta_Code" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;rosettacode.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Rosetta_Code</a><p>And for those who enjoy Vim but, like me, aren&#x27;t masters quite yet. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;vim.rtorr.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;vim.rtorr.com&#x2F;</a>

I would say Google&#x27;s Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Starter Guide is essential for frontend developers: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;support.google.com&#x2F;webmasters&#x2F;answer&#x2F;7451184?hl=en" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;support.google.com&#x2F;webmasters&#x2F;answer&#x2F;7451184?hl=en</a><p>I maintain my own guide of concise webdev tips that&#x27;s mostly distill from and links to recommendations from OWASP, Mozilla and Google which you might find a good jumping-off point: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.checkbot.io&#x2F;guide&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.checkbot.io&#x2F;guide&#x2F;</a>
