What makes someone a good front-end developer?
We recently covered this exact same thing, but from the perspective of a bunch of developers.
Chris Ferdinandi weighs in:
The least important skills for a front-end developer to have are technical ones.
The nuances of JavaScript. How to use a particular library, framework, or build tool. How the cascade in CSS works. Semantic HTML. Fizz-buzz.
Chris takes that a little farther than I would. I do think that with an understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, the deeper the better, and that it is an ingredient in making a good front-end developer. But I also agree it’s much more than that. In fact, with solid foundational skills and really good soft skills (e.g. you’re great at facilitating a brainstorming meeting), you could and should get a job before they even look at your language skills.
