The Web Development Glossary: More Than 2,000 Key Terms for Developers
“The Web Development Glossary” is probably the largest of its kind. With more than 2,000 terms and explanations it acquaints and reunites you with the major standards and concepts of the Web, with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, accessibility, security, performance, code quality, internationalization, localization, editors and tooling and more.
The glossary then goes beyond web development, touching on computer science, design, typography, usability and user experience, information as well as project management, other disciplines of interest and relevance to the modern developer. It goes beyond, inspiring the curiosity to learn more about the Web and the people creating and using it. And still it is a glossary, of a couple of thousand terms for developers, leaning on (and giving back to) Wikipedia and the MDN Web Docs.
→ This is the book if you choose to extend and validate your web and software development knowledge.

As a backend developer who has dabbled a little bit with front end technologies, I found this a useful and interesting book. It helped me remember the concepts I had previously worked on and also grasp things that were new to me.
I used this book as a study guide; reading a few pages at a time, noting down terms that I wanted to explore further and looking them up online. In this way, this book proved to be a good refresher as well as a starting point for learning new terms.
A big thanks to the author for the free digital copy of the book. This has not influenced my review in any way.
