FAQ

What does a front-end developer do?

Front-end web developers create what users see when they enter a website or use a web application. For web applications, the presentation layer – or “front-end” – is created with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. These technologies largely run the user-facing aspects of a web application.

How is front-end development different than backend development?

While the front-end is what the user sees, the backend or “logic layer” contains any special functions the app may perform. Backend development centers around a programming language such as Python or a library of pre-made components like Flask.

Is front-end development a good career?

Yes, front-end developers and web developers in general, are increasingly in-demand. In addition to the 21% job growth forecasted by the BLS, U.S. News and World Report ranked web developer as #8 on its list of “25 Best Jobs that Don’t Require a College Degree” and #8 in “Best Technology Jobs.” Web developer was also listed in its “Top 100 Jobs” overall and “Best STEM Jobs.”
