Front-End Devlopment
Front-end web development, sometimes referred to as client-side development, is the process of creating HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for a website or Web application so that a user can view and interact with it directly. The difficulty with front-end development is that the tools and techniques used to produce the front end of a website change all the time, necessitating the developer’s ongoing awareness of how the field evolves.
The goal of website design is to ensure that when users visit the site, they see information in an easy-to-read and relevant format. This is complicated even more by the fact that users now use a wide range of devices with different screen sizes and resolutions, forcing the designer to consider these factors when creating the site. They must ensure that their site works properly in a variety of browsers, operating systems, and devices, which necessitates careful planning on the developer’s part.
To code the website and web app designs developed by web designers, front end web developers employ three key coding languages:
• HTML
• CSS
• JavaScript
HTML & CSS
The most fundamental building elements of web coding are HTML (HyperText Markup Language) and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). You won’t be able to develop a website design without these two things, and all you’ll have is unformatted plain text on the screen. Without HTML, you can’t even add photos to a page! You’ll need to understand HTML and CSS coding before you can begin any web development career path. The good news is that gaining a decent working understanding of either of them in just a few weeks is possible. The great aspect is that only knowing HTML and CSS will allow you to create simple websites.
JavaScript
You can add a lot more functionality to your web pages using JavaScript, and you can make a lot of simple web apps using just HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. JavaScript is used to develop and operate things like real-time maps, interactive videos, and online games at the most basic level. It’s also the most widely used programming language on the planet, thus learning it is extremely beneficial regardless of your dev career goals.
