Let's say you got a new intern, who's a third-year CS student. He has firm knowledge of the basics, has some experience with C/Java from the courses he took and a lot of desire to learn more.

What would you teach him in order to become a good web developer?

What I had in mind is:

  • HTML/CSS and the importance of writing semantic markup
  • Javascript, some JS framework (jQuery), JSON
  • Basics of Git/Subversion (whatever you use)
  • The language we use (Ruby, Python, PHP, C#, whatever)
  • Introduction the web framework we use (Rails, Django, ASP.NET MVC...)
  • MVC - what/why/who
  • RESTful web services - how to consume them and how to create one

What's on your list?
