Front End Developer
What's it like to be a Front End Developer?
A Frontend Developer is a software developer who specialises in building the user-facing elements of websites and other web–based content. They commonly work with programming languages like JavaScript, HTML and CSS. Frontend Developers use a blend of creative and technical skills to design and build user–friendly content.
Frontend Developers often work to a process known as the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), which contains six stages: analysis, design, development and testing, implementation, documentation, and evaluation. They work in teams at IT companies or in the IT department of a broad range of technology–driven organisations. They may also work freelance servicing a list of clients.
