Is there a resource that does for front-end what Laracasts does for PHP?
I think we all agree that Laracasts is a fantastic resource for understanding how modern web applications in PHP should be handled (even without Laravel) with the talks on Composer, Testing, etc.
What I'm finding is that as I'm attempting to become more 'complete' with my learning, I want to better understand how to approach the front-end correctly. From doing responsive correctly (% grids, svgs, media queries) to LESS, SASS, Grunt, Javascript frameworks, front-end testing, etc. I'm a little behind and frankly, a little lost.
Anybody have a go-to resources they've found helpful in becoming a master of the front facing?

Laracasts focuses primarily on the Laravel framework and supporting concepts though Laravel itself is but one of many options for PHP development thus it is not a singular resource for PHP. In that same way the options for front end development are many and there is no singular resource for learning all of the possible combinations of tools available. You're going to need to narrow the choices down to those front end tools you wish to use and then look for learning resources specific to them.
I would recommend you look into AngularJS as a starting point as it is the most widely used JS framework, and being Google supported you can be sure its solid base to build on just like Laravel!

I haven't been too much here: https://egghead.io/ But they say, is the Laracasts for Javascript, specially for AngularJS.

CSS Tricks is probably the closest I can think of for front-end in general - http://css-tricks.com/video-screencasts/
