Sign up for an HTML\/CSS marathon<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n2. JavaScript<\/h3>\n
JavaScript is a must-have for Front-end developers! This programming language lets you add dynamic elements to initially static HTML pages. For example, with JavaScript, the developer makes it so that:<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Correct animation shown,<\/span><\/li>\n
- Right windows popped up,<\/span><\/li>\n
- Necessary effects appeared when the user acts.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Out of 83,052 respondents to the Stack Overflow Developer Survey for 2022, 64.995% create JavaScript projects. Therefore, this makes JS the most popular programming language and opens new perspectives for beginners. <\/span><\/p>\n3. JQuery and JavaScript, CSS frameworks<\/h3>\n
JQuery is a JS library that simplifies writing and reduces the repetition of code required for JavaScript and HTML to interact.<\/span><\/p>\nIn addition, JQuery includes an extensive collection of pre-built UI elements that make it easy to create and customize galleries, modal windows, and forms.<\/span><\/p>\nJavaScript and CSS frameworks are libraries that contain a set of “standard” styles and dynamic elements. To get away from boring terms and explain what they’re, here’s an example. Imagine you’re a Junior Front End Developer. Your task is to create a “blueprint” for a website, web page, or application, and you will receive inputs that will serve as the foundation for any project. You have two choices:<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Starting a project from scratch and spending a dozen hours creating the basics is excellent practice for the beginner if deadlines are not tight.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Taking advantage of the JS and CSS frameworks and making the basics in an hour or two is a great way to quickly “deploy” a project from scratch without requiring lengthy coding.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
It’s useful for a beginner to know how to do both, as you can choose depending on the availability (lack) of time.<\/span><\/p>\n4. Version control system<\/h3>\n
During the project development phase, the Front End Developer interacts with the development team, web designers, and testers. To make communication convenient for everyone, you need to be able to work with a version control system. For example, let’s explore Git. Here’s what you need to know:<\/span><\/p>\n\n- How to install Git on your computer.<\/span><\/li>\n
- How to send changes to Git so the team can see them.<\/span><\/li>\n
- How to view changes and roll back to earlier versions.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The version control system will help the novice Front End Developer to revise projects and, instead of rewriting the code from scratch, go back to the working version and “rewrite” the required part.<\/span><\/p>\n5. Adaptive Design<\/h3>\n
When creating websites and web pages, it’s important to remember that users will view them on different devices:<\/span><\/p>\n\n- computers;<\/span><\/li>\n
- tablets;<\/span><\/li>\n
- smartphones.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
A Junior Front End developer should know adaptive layout techniques to make pages that will adapt for viewing on any device.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
