About the Author

SA

Sepand Asadi

Experienced software engineer and educator passionate about making web development accessible to everyone. This book series represents years of teaching experience distilled into a comprehensive, hands-on learning path.

Why This Series?

I wrote the "Zero to Front-End Hero" collection because I was frustrated with the state of learning resources. Most tutorials are either too simple ("copy-paste this code") or too complex (drowning in jargon). Beginners are often left stuck in the middle, knowing syntax but not understanding architecture.

This series is designed to bridge that gap. We don't just type code; we build professional-grade mental models. Each volume represents years of teaching experience distilled into a comprehensive, hands-on learning path.

📚Companion Exercises

All hands-on exercises, quizzes, and capstone projects are hosted in a separate repository with:

  • 390+ coding exercises
  • 63+ practice projects
  • 55+ quizzes
  • Complete solution code

🎯Learning Philosophy

This series follows a unique approach: Mental Models First. You won't just learn syntax—you'll understand how to think like a professional developer. Every concept is reinforced with hands-on exercises, real-world examples, and practical projects that build confidence step-by-step.
