Front End Developers... What I should Know

[Vinod Bahadur Thapa]

I want to be Front end developers. So with this scripting lang HTML, CSS and Javascript is it enough for me to be a Front end?  And what is JSON?

JSON is JavaScript Object Notation. It's a data structure format represented in a meaningful structured way of key-value pairs, where the value can be just about anything, like a list, integer, string, or another object.

It looks like this, so it's also very readable by humans:


 

For a lot of systems, this is how data is passed between them, especially for web services.

web developer and front end developer is same or different or what

All front-end developers for web-based front-ends are web developers.

Not all web developers are front-end developers.

Back on topic. @Vinod Bahadur Thapa front end developers focus mainly on HTML/CSS and possibly JavaScript. Knowing more is helpful but not required to be a skilled front end webdev.

Employers typically want you to know as much as possible. This means SQL, PHP, or whatever is driving the content as well, even if you don't personally use it.

Should be enough to be a starting front-end guy.

Nowadays most designers also pick-up the skill to code CSS/JS

 

But if you want to go further which always is good, try to get the following things done

• Get basic HTML CSS knowledge
• Expand this by making a few "designs"
• Learn a VCS (Git) and probably some nice rules like Git Flow
• Get knowledge of SCSS/SaSS/Less
• Keep DRY (Dont repeat yourself) in mind, Less/SaSS Mixins would be a start
• Get familiar with a building system (Gulp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmdT2zhFmn4 )
• Improve code DRY / Cleaning again since it is never enough.

Maybe check out some frameworks / libs.
