How much does a backend developer need to know layout?

Question

PHP

Hello! I want to become a backend developer. At first I studied html, css, mastered adaptive layout. But the layout somehow tires me. How much do you need to master the layout? I can create simple layouts, fix some blocks. Now I have switched to learning php. I want to do more programming than layout. Therefore, I chose backend, not frontend. I would like to do not do a lot of layout) I don’t know how to layout pixel perfect, but I can handle layouts of medium complexity. Well, I can fix all sorts of bugs in the layout. This is my level of layout proficiency. Do you think this is enough? Now, in any case, I will immerse myself more in programming, and I will periodically tighten the layout. Thanks in advance for your replies and advice

PS: oh yes. And another question: will php come down as the first programming language? Previously, I had experience on the "pros" (still in a technical school), but I reached about arrays, and then abandoned for a number of reasons)

Answer 1

1) No longer needed than needed. You will master programming, the layout will catch up in a week. The level at which you can put the blocks in a line is enough for you

I can fix any bugs in layout.

God, what kind of bugs are in Versk ...
2)

had experience ... reached approximately arrays

It's not called "had an experience". You didn't have experience. There was an experience - this is when you saw something on the tongue for half a year. And yes, the language is good as the first. Find a job faster

Answer 2

It will not be superfluous, but I think if you are a back, then the layout can be thrown off to the front. However, it all depends on the company you work for.

Answer 3

Basically, everything was written above, more likely not necessary than necessary, but ...
One day you may want to file some of your own projects or a very tasty freelance order will arrive and it turns out that you are very sorry to share the fee for the project with the front, and in the case his project - so also pay him out of his own pocket.
So in some cases, knowing the front increases your mobility, reduces your dependency on other people, and opens up more perspectives.

Answer 4

On large projects, the chance that a backend developer will need layout tends to zero. At interviews, accordingly, no one will ask the layout either.

Answer 5

My experience in shitty firms (I'm not talking about normal organizations) shows:
Everyone started with riveting websites. Someone left, and someone gritted their teeth and learned the basics of PHP and PHPMyAdmin.
But everyone has the same past - it's HTML and CSS.

Answer 6

To do something non-standard in the admin panel is very necessary. And vue is needed, and webpack, and the entire front stack. jquery is enough for the first time.
