What is guiadevbrasil and who is it for?
guiadevbrasil, also titled Guia Extenso de Programação in its README, is a document collection rather than a program. Its stated goal is to guide you if you are unsure what to learn next, without pushing you toward the hypes and trends of the moment.
It fits best for Brazilian Portuguese speakers starting in programming, front-end developers looking for tools and inspiration, and anyone who wants a broad overview of tech careers. It is not a good fit if you need English content or step-by-step lessons.
- Good fit: Portuguese speakers starting out, front-end developers, people exploring tech careers.
- Poor fit: readers who need English, people who want a runnable software project, readers who want each resource taught step by step.
Get a local copy of the repository
The README gives one command to clone the repository. You can also read the guide directly on GitHub without cloning it, which is the simplest option since no installation is required and no prerequisites are listed.
If you want a local copy to browse offline, run the clone command below in a terminal.
git clone https://github.com/arthurspk/guiadevbrasilNavigate the index to find the section you need
The README opens with a table of contents (ÍNDICE) of linked sections. Each entry jumps to a heading further down the page, so you can skip straight to the topic you care about.
Sections include learning sites for programming, sites for front-end developers, free HTML templates, CSS learning and generators, code editors and IDEs, free image banks, remote job boards, and sites to find open source projects. Start with the section that matches your current goal rather than reading top to bottom.
- Sites para estudar programação (learning sites)
- Sites para desenvolvedor front-end and Sites para aprender ou treinar CSS
- Templates HTML gratuitos and Geradores de CSS
- IDEs e editores de código and Ferramentas de desenvolvimento
- Banco de imagens gratuitas
- Sites para buscar vagas remotas
Use the guide when choosing what to learn next
The README suggests a simple approach for beginners: focus on what makes you productive now and mark the rest as Ver depois (watch later). As your knowledge grows, the guide should make more sense.
The author also recommends learning the different frameworks and solutions available so you can pick the tool that fits your needs, instead of following whatever is trending.
- Pick one or two resources that match your current level.
- Save the rest with a Ver depois note and return to them later.
- Compare tools by the problem they solve for you, not by popularity.
Get the most out of the resources
The guide lists resources but does not teach each one. Treat each link as a starting point and follow it to its own documentation or course.
The README also mentions a Portuguese e-book called e-Front for front-end development, covering HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React and TypeScript, and optional donation links. Both are described by the author as optional and are not required to use the guide.
- Check the language of each linked site before you commit time to it.
- Treat the e-Front e-book and donation links as optional.
- Contribute back by opening pull requests or issues in the repository, as the README invites.
What people use it for

- Choosing free HTML templates or CSS generators for a front-end project
- Sourcing free images for a website
- Looking up tools for code editors, project management or hosting a site
- Browsing remote job boards and open source project finders while planning a tech career
