Front-end Developer Handbook
This is a guide that anyone could use to learn about the practice of front-end development. It broadly outlines and discusses the practice of front-end engineering: how to learn it and what tools are used when practicing it.
It is specifically written with the intention of being a professional resource for potential and currently practicing front-end developers to equip themselves with learning materials and development tools. Secondarily, it can be used by managers, CTO's, instructors, and head hunters to gain insights into the practice of front-end development.
The content of the handbook favors web technologies (HTML, CSS, DOM, and JavaScript) and those solutions that are directly built on top of these open technologies. The materials referenced and discussed in the book are either best in class or the current offering to a problem.
The book should not be considered a comprehensive outline of all resources available to a front-end developer. The value of the book is tied up in a terse, focused, and timely curation of just enough categorical information so as not to overwhelm anyone on any one particular subject matter.

This is not a book in a regular sense, but a compilation of front-end topics, broken down to specific links. Have you ever seen an awesome list at https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome? This book is very similar, but with a much more structured approach and a concern only for front-end developers.
Consist of three main sections: practice, learning, tools.
Practice section describes what are the core types of front-end developers, their responsibilities and skills. Skills is a nice sub-section since it contains over 50 core front-end skills.
Learning section breaks down these skills into topics with specific links to blog posts and courses.
Tools section is just a compilation of links to tools for different kind of tasks, starting from SEO and ending with ES linting.
Personally, I will keep this books for a long time in the references section, since it's a great resource in managing your learning path within a specific skill. Section "Learning" is the core of this book.
