Web-Dev-For-Beginners, which is hosted on GitHub with links to You Tube videos, is  a collaboration among many developers across the Microsoft stack; Project managers, Cloud, AI and JavaScript advocates, each one working on different bits of the curriculum which comprises of a total of 24 lessons.

It teaches HTML,CSS and JavaScript, the latter without the use of any frameworks.
