Advanced Web Dev Quiz

This repo is related to my FrontendMasters course.
You'll find the questions and additional resources to get a better understanding of the concepts.

This Advanced Web Dev Quiz covers a wide range of the things web devs get to deal with on a daily basis. The goal is to (re)introduce you to certain concepts that you may have forgotten over the years or simply don't get exposed to that often 🙂

Have fun, and hopefully you'll learn something new today! Good luck! 💪

⚠️ This repo does not contain the answers(!), only the questions and useful resources on the question's topic!
To see the answers and watch visualized explanations for each question, please watch the FrontendMasters course! 🙏
