Creating an esveo basics knowledge base

When onboarding new people at esveo, we often times explain the same topics. Additionally, questions about further reading resources come up regularly. Depending on who is doing the onboarding and coaching, they have different links in their repertoire that they can share with the team. To streamline this, we want to start our own knowledge base with our own articles and popular articles that we share from other people.

Target audience & topic selection

This collection of articles is targeted mainly at junior developers that are in the beginning of their journey into web development. We will fill them over time with the topics that come up during teaching of our colleagues. As a result, this will not start from zero, but with a bit more specialized topics where people might need input in their day to day live as an employed junior developer. Maybe we will have a comprehensive guide that we can completely follow when introducing someone into the word of JavaScript, HTML & CSS.
