A great guide on more "soft skills" in a life of a professional developer. Topics covered include productivity, career options, how to learn, even personal finance
A timeless book on software project management. A list of essays that draw from experience of being a project manager and how systems scale or don't. This is more for leadership roles but we all know you will be leaders in software development one day. So, it's good to get started.
A book that was written in 1945 but has a ton of timeless advice to approach problem solving. It's more mathematical based but a lot of the questions/methods can be applied to solving problems in programming/algorithm problems
Exactly as it says!
Who else is better to follow than the creator of JavaScript himself as well as the co-founder and former CTO of Mozilla
Simpson is the author of the book series You Don't Know JS a very popular book that takes you deep into JavaScript.

In addition to having an awesome name, he writes a lot about JavaScript, React, Express, Node, etc.
Verou is the creator of the book CSS Secrets. It's not JavaScript but it will help you with your styling. She regularly sends out Tweets about UX, design, code and best practices.

If you're trying to get a re-intro, this is a good article.

An extension to the one above.
A longer read but still a great article.
A good video that is around 30 minutes long to describe the React Lifecycle Methods

If you're a visual learner, then this article is definitely for you.
An excellent article on when you should start thinking about Redux, how it works, and a scenario that popped up for the author on when they started using Redux.

Part of a three part series with this one being about how to manage state. It has a lot of good diagrams and is worth the read.
