Fullstack for Front-Ends course by Jem Young on Frontend Masters goes through things in a very clear way. I feel like if the basics, enough to safely host a static site without your box getting immediately pwned, would be so valuable to learn super early on. Not just when you want to go fullstack.

Whichever engineering track you're on, nothing gets done without collaboration. I believe there's power in cross-functional empathy and learning about other roles within our teams, so I took a Frontend Masters course on engineering management this weekend.
We all have someone we report to. Jem Young's thoughtful and honest reflections deepened my understanding of my manager's goals, priorities, and pain points, helping to contextualize my role as an engineer further.

Engineering Management 101 and 102 are amazing, funny, humbling retrospectives on the day-to-day of an Engineering Manager. I wish these existed years ago!

I just finished the Fullstack for Front-End Engineers, v3 course on FrontendMasters by Jem Young and I highly recommend it for any frontend engineers looking to dive more into the realm of backend development. Jem does a fantastic job of explaining everything is great detail, even down to each flag of each command. Great stuff!
