HTML5 Fundamentals

<!-- Semantic markup -->
<header><nav></nav></header>
<main>
  <article><h1>Title</h1><p>Content</p></article>

<!-- Accessibility -->

CSS3 Modern Layouts

/* Flexbox */
.flex-container {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: space-between;
  align-items: center;
  gap: 1rem;
}

/* Grid */
.grid {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr);
  gap: 1rem;
}

/* Responsive */
@media (max-width: 768px) {
  .grid { grid-template-columns: 1fr; }
}

JavaScript ES6+ Essentials

// Arrow functions
const add = (a, b) => a + b;

// Destructuring
const {name, age} = user;
const [first, ...rest] = array;

// Async/await with error handling
async function fetchData() {
  try {
    const response = await fetch('/api/data');
    if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`HTTP ${response.status}`);
    return await response.json();
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Fetch failed:', error);
    throw error;
  }
}

// Array methods
arr.map(x => x * 2)
   .filter(x => x > 5)
   .reduce((acc, x) => acc + x, 0);

React Hooks Pattern

import {useState, useEffect, useCallback} from 'react';

function Counter() {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
  const [error, setError] = useState(null);

  useEffect(() => {
    document.title = `Count: ${count}`;
  }, [count]);

  const increment = useCallback(() => {
    setCount(prev => prev + 1);
  }, []);

  if (error) return <ErrorBoundary error={error} />;

  return (
    <button onClick={increment}>
      Count: {count}
    </button>
  );
}

State Management

// Context API with TypeScript
interface UserContextType {
  user: User | null;
  setUser: (user: User) => void;
}

const UserContext = createContext<UserContextType | undefined>(undefined);

export function useUser() {
  const context = useContext(UserContext);
  if (!context) {
    throw new Error('useUser must be within UserProvider');
  }
  return context;
}

Performance Optimization

// Code splitting
const LazyComponent = lazy(() => import('./Component'));

// Memoization
const MemoizedComponent = memo(Component);
const value = useMemo(() => expensiveComputation(), [deps]);

// useCallback for stable references
const handleClick = useCallback(() => {
  // handler
}, [dependencies]);

Web Performance Metrics

Metric	Target	Description
LCP	< 2.5s	Largest Contentful Paint
FID	< 100ms	First Input Delay
CLS	< 0.1	Cumulative Layout Shift
TTI	< 5s	Time to Interactive
FCP	< 1.8s	First Contentful Paint

Accessibility Standards

• WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance
• Keyboard navigation support
• Screen reader compatibility
• Color contrast ratios (4.5:1 minimum)
• Semantic HTML structure

Unit Test Template

import { render, screen, fireEvent, waitFor } from '@testing-library/react';
import userEvent from '@testing-library/user-event';

describe('Counter Component', () => {
  beforeEach(() => {
    jest.clearAllMocks();
  });

  test('increments count on click', async () => {
    render(<Counter />);

    const button = screen.getByRole('button');
    await userEvent.click(button);

    expect(screen.getByText(/Count: 1/)).toBeInTheDocument();
  });

  test('handles error state', async () => {
    jest.spyOn(console, 'error').mockImplementation(() => {});

    render(<Counter initialError={new Error('Test')} />);

    expect(screen.getByRole('alert')).toBeInTheDocument();
  });
});

Troubleshooting Guide

Symptom	Cause	Solution
Component not updating	Stale closure	Use functional setState
Infinite re-render	useEffect missing deps	Add all dependencies
Memory leak warning	Unmounted state update	Use cleanup function
Hydration mismatch	Server/client diff	Use useEffect for client-only

Key Concepts Checklist

• Semantic HTML elements
• CSS Flexbox and Grid layouts
• JavaScript async/await patterns
• React hooks (useState, useEffect, useContext)
• Component composition
• Props and state management
• Event handling
• Conditional rendering
• List rendering with keys
• Form handling
• API integration
• Error boundaries
• Performance optimization
• Accessibility compliance
• Responsive design
