The front end is the visible part of the application that users interact with, so a Front End Developer designs and maintains what users see in the browser. The front end is often referred to as the “client side” while the back end (which focuses on the server, database, and applications that power the front end) is referred to as the “server side.” A Front End Web Developer will work with languages like CSS and JavaScript as well as some frameworks. A Back End Web Developer works almost exclusively with databases, logic, and server side languages like PHP.
Coding bootcamps are the quickest way to become a Front End Web Developer. Most bootcamps teach full stack development and graduates can choose a specialty like front end development. Coding bootcamps typically teach both technical skills and job hunting skills which help more than 80% of graduates secure jobs after bootcamp. Bootcamps can run anywhere from 8-16 weeks and on average cost $15,000 USD, although many bootcamps now offer a variety of financing options.
Front End Developers can look forward to a wide variety of jobs since no two companies have the exact same expectations of a programmer who specializes in front end technologies. A remote Front End Web Developer job is also a distinct possibility. Here is a list of the most frequent Front End Development jobs for bootcampers:
A Front End Developer manages what users see in their browser. They design, analyze code, and debug the client side of an application. This makes them responsible for the look, feel, and design of a website or web application. A Front End Developer is also expected to have some knowledge of the back end as well as frameworks they could be working with.
Knowledge of front end languages, frameworks, and critical thinking are essential parts of the developer’s toolbox. Because Front End Developers often work on a team, recruiters are also looking for strong evidence of soft skills. Thankfully, most coding bootcamps teach their students how to demonstrate their transferable skills as well as their technical skills.
Soft skills that employers look for include the ability to communicate clearly and ask the right questions. Employers also look for developers who are good at problem-solving and working with a team. Other beneficial soft skills include:
The job outlook for Front End Developers is positive, with the overall employment levels projected to increase by 16% over the next decade, which is faster than the average for all occupations in the U.S. This translates into approximately 19,000 openings each year through 2032. The median annual wage for a Front End Designer is $98,540 as of May, 2023.
There are several factors that can affect the salary for Front End Developers, such as:
To become a Front End Developer, you have several paths:
Like any career, the career progression for a Front End Developer is all about developing the required skills. To become a Front End Developer, you’ll need to do the following:
Yes, the job outlook is good. About 70% of developers report being happy in their job, which is always a green flag. Additionally, the salary level is above average, you’ll work on a variety of projects, there’s a demand for Front End Developers, and there’s opportunity to work remotely.
It depends. If you have some experience, it might take as little as 8-16 weeks, but if you’re a complete beginner, it could take a couple of years, especially if you choose to get a degree.
