What should a frontend developer learn?

Question

Frontend

What skills should a junior frontend developer have in 2018? Recently, on various forums, I see comments like jquery in 2017 rly? why do you need bootstrap, learn css grid? In the end, I still can’t understand, so what should I learn?

Answer 1

1. First, we learn fundamentals (how computers, networks and browsers work, http, programming basics).
2. Then we study how specific web technologies work (html, js, css, how all this is parsed by the browser and rendered into a web page, we learn how to typeset and use js, there are a lot of books and courses).
3. Next, we study technologies that automate all this, simplify and abstract (frameworks, bootstraps, reacts, assemblers, jquery, new standards, grids, etc., etc.).
4. Practice, application of what you have learned, choice of specialization (depends on what you want to do next in the front - it can be just layout, creating interfaces or visualizing data, or maybe working with graphics \ audio \ video, trends (now it is react , bootstrap, foundation, babel, es6, d3, RxJS, functional programming)), further development throughout life is possible indefinitely. But without the first points, it's all nothing.

Answer 2

Learn what you were advised here, good answers. jQuery is a good topic, you need to know it even at 18, do not pay attention to the "hype" and all sorts of show-off balabols, because in reality everything is different.

Answer 11

Fuck jQuery. I was too lazy to learn it at one time and it turned out to be very handy. It has become obsolete and out of use.
In general, even JavaScript itself will have time to go rotten in 2018. 2019 promises to be the year of WebAssembly.

We open the list of vacancies. Let's look at the requirements.
