Who is a Front-End Developer?

A Front-End Developer is a person responsible for coding and creating the visual elements of a software, application or website. He/She creates the components/features that are directly viewable and accessible by the user.

This article covers the fastest way of becoming a Front-End Web Developer.

Step 1: Learning HTML & CSS

HTML, CSS and JS

HTML: HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. It’s the foundation of web pages and provides the bare minimum required to make a website.

CSS: CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheet. It is used to add design to make the website more aesthetically pleasing to the end user.

There are several resources available on the internet, including text-based as well as video resources to learn the basics of HTML and CSS.

Step 2: Learning JavaScript

JavaScript is used to add animations to the web page as well as to add interactive features to the web page.

Plenty of resources are available freely on this topic as well. Learning it is a must and cannot be skipped as it is the base of the modules you are gonna use.

Be sure to make some simple projects while learning, as you will a learn a lot more by making something out of the skills you have learnt rather than just watching tutorials on the topic.

Step 3: Learning Frameworks:

JS Frameworks

Once you have learnt JavaScript, its time time to learn some Front-End Frameworks used to make the task easier.

A lot of frameworks are available mentioning a few: React, Angular, Vue, etc.

I would recommend you to learn React and it is used in a lot of industries, and the motive of this article is to make you job ready. Make sure to make projects while learning this as well.

Once you have successfully completed the steps you are now a Front-End Developer and ready to apply for jobs. Do keep in mind that you are not a full-fledged developer yet and there are still a lot of things to learn.

Keep updating yourself with the latest technologies and keep learning as software development is an ever-evolving field.

Last but not the least, make sure to enjoy the process.
