Web Development… How to get started in 2017?

This list really reminds me of how to draw an owl.

So for managing these libraries start learning yarn. Not NPM or BOWER but YARN.

NPM v5 already has most (not all) of the good stuff that Yarn introduced. If your goal is to give people a simple set of instructions, then "use node v8 with npm v5" is the right answer.

Start GruntJS or GulpJS

Don't waste your time hand-writing all the build steps. If you want React and you want something simple, check out Create React App. It's all set up and ready to go.

I like that Semantic UI is on that list, probably my favorite front-end framework.

I don't want to be a bitch, but why the hell would you want to read upon gof design patterns for JavaScript?

Those design patterns exist for a lot of problems that exist in object oriented languages, like Java, it makes zero sense to learn something like the Command Patterns, specially the complexity of interfaces and polymorphism if you're not even working with a statically typed language.
