There are a lot of podcasts on the subject of web development.

And honestly, I've tried listening to a ton of them.

But the one I keep coming back to, over and over again, is the Syntax Podcast by Wes Bos and Scott Tolinski.

I highly recommend setting aside time weekly to listen to and study every episode, especially if you are new to web development.

The Syntax Podcast is unmatched in simplifying complex web development topics into easily understandable segments. Wes and Scott discuss various subjects, from the basics of HTML and CSS to the more advanced JavaScript frameworks. Their episodes are always current with the latest trends and technologies in the web development industry, meaning that you learn the basics and remain up-to-date with the changing landscape.

Reason #2: Engaging Teaching Style

Both hosts have a knack for teaching. They present information in an engaging and often humorous way, making the learning process enjoyable and far from dull. This is particularly important for beginners who might find web development overwhelming. Wes and Scott's approachable and friendly style helps make the topics more accessible and less intimidating.

Reason #3: Real-World Tips and Tricks

Apart from theoretical knowledge, the Syntax Podcast provides practical tips and tricks you can use in your projects. The hosts often share their personal experiences, successes, and failures, supplying listeners with valuable insights applicable to real-world scenarios. This aspect of the podcast is incredibly beneficial, especially for beginners who are looking not only to learn but also to implement their skills effectively.

As a beginner—this is one of the most helpful resources on the Internet you can sink your teeth into while learning web development.
