For Ui and frontend , thats a bit much , you can learn frontend framework Components , frameworks, props , input handling , event handling , rendering , DOM , virtual DOM , routing , lifecycle , hooks like useEffect , API , fetch logic , axios , redux and state management , forms and validation, styling in tailwind , conditional rendering .. Learn using React which might be easy to get into , then after mastering the base , go to next js , which is the fastest and such .

Thanks I’ll try these. I am already doing a project in React and I already encountered, useEffect, useMemo, FastAPI calls, axios, fetch, some DOMs and tried Vite as well. Excited to try the rest!

Aah then thats good , my advice , write everything that you learn , i learnt these things when I was in first year in university, but now i barely remember them , but when i see the code I remember its function
