When it comes to starting a career in the IT industry, you have a lot of possibilities. There are a plethora of programming languages, frameworks, and libraries to choose from. Because there are so many alternatives, it’s difficult to decide where to begin. One of the most common mistakes made by beginners is wasting time moving from one item to the next, resulting in nothing.

 

1. Foundation:

 

You should start with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript if you want to be a front-end developer. These are the most common front-end programming languages. Our web pages are structured with HTML, styled with CSS, and programmed with JavaScript. To begin, we utilize HTML to create all of the elements of a layout. User name, amount of followers, lists menu, and so on are all building blocks. Then we add some visual effects with CSS. Finally, we use JavaScript to make our web page more functional. When we click on the search symbol, for example, it can expand to a certain extent. These three languages are used to create every web page you see on the internet: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

 

2. Front End Frameworks:

 

Building websites often entails a slew of monotonous tasks. Front-end frameworks and libraries are employed in this scenario. A framework or library typically includes a large amount of code that may be reused in a website. As a result, they assist in completing the task fast. The key distinction between a framework and a library is that a framework imposes a structure on our application. As a result, all apps built with a framework have a similar structure. Many businesses nowadays use popular frameworks such as React, Angular, and Vue.

 

 

3. Version Control Systems:

 

Version control systems are used to keep track of code changes and make it easier to collaborate with others. There are a variety of version control systems on the market, but git is the most widely used.

 

4. CSS Preprocessors:

 

CSS is an outdated programming language with its own set of constraints. When writing CSS for medium or large-scale apps, your code becomes cluttered and difficult to manage. When a new CSS feature is introduced, all browsers must support it, which is a lengthy process. As a result, we employ a CSS Preprocessor. A CSS preprocessor is a program or application that allows you to build CSS from a language other than CSS that is more powerful and competent. As a result, rather than utilizing basic CSS, we employ a comparable language. Our code is then passed to a CSS preprocessor, which turns it into plain CSS, which is supported by all browsers. SASS, LESS, and Stylus are just a few of the CSS preprocessors available.

 

 

5. JavaScript’s Superset:

 

JavaScript, like CSS, is an ancient language. Although it is updated regularly, it still has certain restrictions. Many front-end engineers prefer to create code in more current languages like TypeScript and CoffeeScript. Then they submit their code to a tool called Transpiler, which converts modern code into old JavaScript code that is supported by all browsers.
