5Things You Should Know As a Web Developer
1. HTML/CSS/JS The most important skill or knowledge every developer should learn first is these three basic building blocks i.e. HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. You will be using HTML and CSS in frontend for interfaces. Just right click on your web browser and then select view page source option. You will find the structure of your website where a lot of HTML tags are used for different purposes. CSS is also used in the frontend that decides the style, design, layout and how HTML elements need to be displayed on the screen. If you’re gonna specialize in JavaScript like MEAN Stack or MERN stack then you’re gonnadeep dive into this language because this one will be your frontend as well as backend language.
2. Git and Github Git is one of the most popular version control systems which is used in most of the developers working in Web Development Agency in New York .Chances are higher that you need to work on this version control if you get a job as a web developer. This is the reason you should definitely spend some time learning Git and some basic commands like cloning, pushing to repositories, making a pull request, merging branches, etc. Github is a service where you can push your Git repositories to host your code. It is used for collaboration or we can say it allows developers to work together on projects.
3. Browser DevTools You can do a lot of stuff using browser DevTools like debugging, editing HTML elements, editing CSS properties, checking device, tracking javascript error, etc. Every developer should be aware of using different tabs elements, console, network, etc. in DevTools to make their work easier and faster. Depends on your browser you can use any DevTools like Chrome DevTools, Firefox DevTools or whatever browser you are using. People generally prefer using Chrome DevTools to develop, test and debug the web application but again it’s the choice of the developer which browser he/she is using to develop the website.
4. API In web development you will be working a lot with APIs which is basically dealing with third party data. It allows developers to use some of the functionality without sharing the code. There is an awesome Github repository of APIs which you can use for a different purpose and it also gives you a lot of project ideas. You can check the link Public APIs end explore it. We recommend you to learn about using Rest APIs, HTTP request methods GET, POST, PUT, PATCH and DELETE, building a Rest API, CRUD operation Create, Read, Update, Delete. Different status code, data format JSON, HTML or XML used in the request etc.
5. Programming Languages Computers don’t understand human languages and that’s the reason you need to talk to your system with the programming languages. In web development, programming languages are compulsory to learn and all the logics you can apply using a wide range of programming languages. Web developers use a variety of languages like PHP, Python, Java, Ruby and recently JavaScript also giving competition introducing itself to handle the backend part. As a web developer, you must have knowledge of at least one programming language to build your web application.
