So today, I want to share 7 amazing GitHub projects that will help you become a better Javascript developer. These GitHub projects are quite popular and can be a go-to resource for anyone looking to learn, and let's face it - Devs are always learning.🤓
So let's get started. 👊

5. Front End interview handbook
⭐ Github stars: 29.5k
This repo promises to make you go from zero to front-end interview hero even if you don't have prior interview experience. And, from the number of stargazers it has, it looks like it delivers on that promise. It has answers to every question in the very famous question bank Front-end Job Interview Questions.

⚡️ Front End interview preparation materials for busy engineers
Front End Interview Handbook
What is this?
Unlike typical software engineer job interviews, front end job interviews have less emphasis on algorithms and have more questions on intricate knowledge and expertise about the domain — HTML, CSS, JavaScript, just to name a few areas.
While there are some existing resources to help front end developers in preparing for interviews, they aren't as abundant as materials for a software engineer interview. Among the existing resources, probably the most helpful question bank would be Front-end Developer Interview Questions. Unfortunately, I couldn't find many complete and satisfactory answers to these questions online, hence here is my attempt at answering them. Being an open source repository, the project can live on with the support of the community as the state of web evolves.
