Familiarity with the modern web stack is not just for "making websites" but benefits developers across the job market.

The web is no longer just HTML and CSS. Modern websites combine a number of technologies and scripting languages to create web applications that are fast, reliable, and scalable.

Apps which previously ran natively on desktop computers, such as Microsoft Excel, are now also web based. New Progressive Web Apps use web technology to create cross-platform apps faster and easier than compiling native code for many systems.

The web development landscape is constantly evolving, with new technologies and frameworks being developed all the time. Understanding modern web stack development enables you to stay current with the latest technologies and take advantage of their benefits.
