What Is a Front-End Developer?
Front-end web development, also known as client-side development is the practice of producing HTML, CSS and JavaScript
for a website or Web Application so that a user can see and interact with them directly. The challenge associated with
front end development is that the tools and techniques used to create the front end of a website change constantly and
so the developer needs to constantly be aware of how the field is developing.
The objective of designing a site is to ensure that when the users open up the site they see the information in a format
that is easy to read and relevant. This is further complicated by the fact that users now use a large variety of devices
with varying screen sizes and resolutions thus forcing the designer to take into consideration these aspects when
designing the site. They need to ensure that their site comes up correctly in different browsers (cross-browser),
different operating systems (cross-platform) and different devices (cross-device), which requires careful planning on
the side of the developer.
HTML, CSS, & JavaScript:
A front-end developer architects and develops websites and applications using web technologies (i.e., HTML, CSS, and JavaScript), which run on the Open Web Platform or act as compilation input for non-web platform environments (i.e., React Native).
Typically, a person enters into the field of front-end development by learning to develop HTML, CSS, and JavaScript which commonly runs in a web browser but can also run in a headless browser, WebView, or as compilation input for a native runtime environment.
