What is a front-end developer?
Important to note:
Not cut and dry – a lot of cross over
Still being defined by the industry
But generally Speaking:
Use HTML and CSS along with Javascript to create semantically sound and accessible web pages.
The parts of the website you see including animations, content , imagery - Front-end developers make living applications from Photoshop images.
Is the bridge between design and code.
Back-End is more to do with databases and information storing using technologies such as PHP and they also create content and maintain CMS’..Not many women in the industry – this is changing!
