Ask HN: Can somebody recommend the best forum for front end development?

If you are interested in general front-end development as your title suggests:

Sitepoint has a pretty active forum, as does CSSTricks. There see a few subreddits that can be decent at times, I think /r/frontend and /r/javascript from memory.

The other thing to look into is local meetups that you can go to, while it won't be a forum, you may find a community that can help you grow as you learn.

you should definitely check out http://www.reddit.com/r/webdev I've been hanging out there a lot lately and there are some excellent discussions.

thanks everyone those are some good options.
