  • Working with various frameworks such as Git and GitHub

Skillset required by web development professionals

On the whole what a web developer requires is a keen sense of various coding and programming tools and systems. A web developer needs proper grip over various coding platforms such as; HTML, CSS, JavaScript and other programming languages to work with. Backend developers only work with PHP, Ruby, Python and the ASP.NET. They might also require to write various databases query with the help of the SQL and MySQL systems. These are some of the systems that you need to master if you wish to become a great web development expert.

These codes and programming systems help you to construct the websites, control various technical aspects and bring about any relative changes as desired by the customers. You can join a particular web developer boot camp if you like to grab a complete essence of what web development is and learn its various attributes.

Front End Vs Back End

Every website has two particular cores namely backend and frontend. Everything you see on a website is a collection of both sides continually interacting and sharing insight with one and the other.

Everything that a user experiences after landing on a particular website or webpage is called frontend, they see and experience all that stuff as users and can’t make any dedicated changes to them. While everything that is being displayed on the frontend is the result of the backend processes starting or originating from the server-side. Everything that is being operated from the backend comprises of the working of various programming languages such as Java, C++ and HTML. Both are very different components, but one without another is just as useless as a car without wheels.

Learning Web designing

Web designers are usually responsible for the visual aesthetics of the websites and how they can use their creative skills and knowledge of the subject to provide the website with a lively feel. This may include the wallpapers, background and other aesthetic features that you observe after landing on a website.

They are responsible for the look and feel of a website. They can work on various sites of the website such as developing the layouts, templates, logos, illustrations, buttons and other various designing elements as well. Although these professionals align in the form of the UI and UX experts and there is a clear distinction between both. All of these systems can only be constructed by tightening your grip over the use of the designing tools and systems, which would be discussed in detail in the next sections of this article.

UI design means the development of the user interface, and it is being done and governed by web designers all the time. This corresponds to the visual appearance of each and every webpage that the users constantly come in contact with, as well as their interaction made via using different modes of technology. 

UX designs are programmed to provide eccentric user satisfaction and overwhelming user experience while using the web along all of the services and products mentioned there. UX structure is aimed to provide the websites with prototype designs that are first tested with the beta users of the programs to be later instated on a larger scale.

What tools would you require?

As a beginner if you don’t have a whole lot of understanding of how the web designing works then it is best that you indulge yourself in learning the tools and software systems that can help you in the designing process. There are a bunch of tools that you would require access to in order to start learning the complexities of web designing. Starting out the Adobe Photoshop and Corel Draw is given the top priority as you begin to learn the basics of image creation, development, and maintaining the aesthetics.   

Adding transitions and other elements of surprise come next, which can be accomplished by using other series of tools such as Adobe Dreamweaver, WordPress, and Webflow. You can use a bunch of tools and software systems which serve somewhat similar but uniquely different purpose.

Remember, other than using dedicated tools and software systems you must come around using your creativity, imagination, and sense of uniqueness. These without any doubt are innate qualities but are as important as learning all those tools and software systems.
