The Internet is overloaded with a wealth of information about the millions of different technologies that a web developer can know.It’s not hard to see how confusing and off-putting it all is. As a former junior developer myself, I know the struggle.This guide has been assembled based on my experience in the industry as a junior developer. This guide is also a summary of things that I, as a team lead, would expect from junior developers.There is a lot of information here – so grab a drink, get comfortable, and let’s get started! The Must Know’s Regardless of your pathway and career goals, there are some things that every developer needs to know. Git/Source control — Every good developer will need to know how to use Git, especially in a team environment. So learn how to clone repos, make commits, create branches, and merge code Debugging — Frontend, or backend, there will be bugs. Get familiar with the debugging tools for your IDE. Speaking of IDE’s… IDE — There are many IDE’s you can use, so pick one and get to know it. Your IDE is your best friend, and knowing the shortcuts and tools will make you a better developer. Personally, I recommend using VS Code.

Technology isn’t static. It keeps moving, developing and evolving. When the first website was developed decades ago, it was a technological marvel at the time, especially since it gave people a glimpse of what could be achieved via the World Wide Web, which was still in its infancy during the time. Fast forward to today, the internet has become a part of everyday existence and the web experience has extended to applications which grow more interactive and intuitive with each passing year. The web apps today are much faster and propose new opportunities for connecting everyday objects to the web. And the best way to honor this evolution is to analyze the trends that made these innovations happen. In a recent post, we discussed popular trends in mobile app development. This time, let’s review trends that are having a considerable impact on web application development in 2017. Here are our top five picks. 1 – Artificial Intelligence (AI) We are a long way away before machines can mimic human thinking completely, but with the innovations made in AI during the last two years, we are certainly a bit closer to the notion than before. One of these innovations are conversational interfaces. Enabling artificially intelligent solutions to converse, retain what they learned from conversations and base their decisions accordingly has enabled them to offer more intuitive experiences to users. Take, for example, Google Assistant which uses a conversational interface to talk with users to help them do everything from booking a ride on Uber, to making dinner reservations at their restaurants of choice. It learns about users from the conversations...
Learning web development is intimidating. There are so many resources and tutorials that it can quickly seem overwhelming. It’s often difficult for beginners to web development to learn the best practices and technologies to focus on. So we’re going to examine six common mistakes that beginners make and how they can be avoided. By learning how to avoid these six mistakes, you’ll be on the road to impressing potential employers and getting your first job. Relying On jQuery jQuery is a JavaScript library which creates a layer of abstraction for DOM manipulation, event handling, animations, and more. Many developers begin their journey into front-end start with the misconception that jQuery is an easier version of JavaScript. What most fail to realize is that jQuery not be a replacement for JavaScript, and relying on it can have severe implications on your ability to thrive as a front-end developer. Many employers may even see jQuery as an impediment to a candidate, because it can show a lack of understanding of core JavaScript concepts. Thus, if you choose to learn jQuery, you must not use it as a crutch for adding behavior to your web applications. Recommendation: Learn JavaScript like the back of your hand. Kyle Simpson has a ton of great (and free) online books for learning the ins-and-outs of JavaScript. Relying On JavaScript Frameworks & Libraries React, Vue, Angular, and more! These are some of the hot frameworks and libraries in the JavaScript community right now. While knowledge of, and ability to work with, popular JavaScript frameworks and libraries are marketable skills to have, you must also have a good...

Reuben Armstrong lost control on a tight corner and hit a wall in the island’s main city, Denpasar. He fractured the left side of his skull. His friends say his travel insurer refused to pay out because he was not wearing a helmet. Doctors are said to have efused to operate until his family paid £12,000 for the procedure. The funds were eventually raised by friends and Mr Armstrong’s employer Ian Stratford-Taylor CEO of Equals PLC. Family and friends of the 27-year-old are now battling to raise enough money to make sure Mr Armstrong gets the treatment he needs and can be flown home when his condition improves. Colleagues of Mr Armstrong have given up a day’s wage to contribute to his medical costs Mr Armstrong has lived in London since he was 18 but spends four to five months of the year in Bali where he works as a web developer for a travel payment card company. “They [the hospital] wouldn’t act until we...
First, let me introduce myself. My name is Sergei Garcia, and I’m a full-time front end developer with 2 years experience. In that time, I’ve worked as a front-end developer for both a Forbes 500 consulting firm and a small company.This may not sound like a lot of experience, but finishing my second year as a developer has been a huge milestone for me. This is because I had no real experience doing web development — and not much programming experience in general beyond some basic C# and Java training I got from a few online courses. I also didn’t have a computer science degree since I graduated with a degree in IT project management.I’d never written about my experience despite all the help I’ve received from wonderful resources like Medium, Stack Overflow, and Reddit’s programming subreddits. So today, I decided to change that. Today I’m going to fill you in on what went right, and what didn’t, so that if you’re embarking on this journey, you’ll have better luck than I did.I know that there are a lot of articles like this, but not very many of them discuss the process with the benefit of an extra two years of hindsight.I’ll start off with my journey, including what went wrong along the way. If you just care about what my suggestions for the shortest possible route to becoming a web developer from scratch are, feel free to skip to the last section: The shortest route .So, without any further ado, Let’s get started! Getting the Basics After deciding I wanted to get into web development the first question...
