8 Things Every Front-End Developer Should Know

When I was first learning front-end software engineering, there were so many things I didn't even know that I should be learning. In this video, I share some of those things as well as areas that I have seen even experienced developers lacking knowledge in.

Thanks Connor, I have learnt a lot from you in short time.
I am looking forward to improving my skills as a front-end developer and I would be glad to use your advice as a foot map.

EDITED: I'd it if you put the links to the website(s) in your video so we can read the articles.

When I receive a design, the designer usually creates only the desktop version. When I ask how should it look like on mobile, they usually say, that just make it look okay... How would you create a mobile first page if you would receive the same input? (Sadly I'm not trolling!)

Semantic HTML is really underrated, a lot of divs bloats the DOM!

Hi Connor,
Great video thanks so much for the helpful video
can you film a video talk about how you would start if you have zero knowledge ?

[UniversalKnowledge]

How did you improve my CSS skills to the point they are currently? Does it just come from repetition and the fact that as long as you simply just continue to work with CSS you'll eventually get there or was it from you approaching using css and learning css in a specific way?

[keifer]

Damn, this was one informative video. How deep you think a FE dev should go into learning backend? What topics in particular should one focus on?

[kiron]

Vanilla development certainly seems pretty helpful but would you say it is worth the time to do personal projects using no frameworks?

Can you plase make video on front end debugging ? Thank you .

As a designer (and front-end developer) I would also recommend that you learn design basics. This is by far the number one issue that designers face during development. Most developers know very little, if anything about design and the end result will always suffer from this. I also see a lot of developers complicate things because of their lack of design knowledge. Elements that follow the same principles in the design often don't when developed. And most importantly – most developers don't even see their design errors. I would argue that if your job is design implementation this should be considered a bare minimum skill to have.
