![]() ![]() I also worry until the fissures start forming, front end web development is a hostile environment for junior developers, due to the dearth of knowledge required to be independently successful. I imagine in less than a decade we may see a fragmentation of front end development into perhaps two or more divisions, starting with javascript app developers. The primary focus is on HTML, CSS, and Javascript, even if we abstract ourselves from it with technologies like JSX, Sass, and TypeScript. The great unifier between these professions is the core technologies: we all live and die (primarily) in the browser. It's also a wild mix of several professions including but not limited to: app developers, animators, data visualization architects, content/information architects, CMS (content management system) templaters, UX/UI designers, all residing under a very wide umbrella called front end development. Readers may want to revisit my previous review for context as I spend more time explaining the usefulness of a task manager and Sass.įront End Development is wildly a caustic field to learn as every week we're talking about some hot new JS framework. To explain the differences between CodeKit 2 and 3 requires certain vernacular, vocabulary, terminology, and industry acronyms. I'd like this review to be as accessible to novice coders and beginners as possible, but it will inevitably be more technical. It seems fitting that this now is officially the most longspun single article I've written for my blog edit: oh how naive I was when I wrote this, now that I have a 20,000+ word article. As the saying goes: Imitation is the highest form of flattery. The review was popular enough to be ripped off by a few hack writers on other blogs like which managed to use a verbatim copy of my review's final points. It was a meditation on task management in the world of front end development.
