Nowadays, it seems like everyone is online. The Internet is a popular resource for numerous kinds of information and not just for inter-user communication (such as email and social media). And a practical way to make purchases and pay expenses.

Every web application has a user-interaction component. The welcome page, menu, site map, and other elements that make navigation and utility easier are displayed when you first visit a website. All of those things are referred to as “front end” collectively. The user interface, the area of the website or app created specifically for the user’s experience, is a component of the front end.

A Front End Developer: What Is One?
A front end developer, usually referred to as a front end web developer, is a specialist in charge of creating the interface. For them to use the application in question, the users need this interface. A web designer is a specialist who develops the look and layout of websites. Additionally, the front end developer uses coding languages like CSS, HTML, and JavaScript to ensure that the design functions online.

For the time being, let’s define what a front end developer, back end developer, and full stack developer are. In plain English, a front end developer is in charge of the components that users see and interact with in an app or website. A back end developer takes care of the “behind the scenes” things such as infrastructure and databases. A combination of both, a full-stack developer is a master of all trades who can manage the entire design process from start to finish.

Be aware that there is a current trend for the distinction between front end and back end development to get blurrier. primarily because front end developers are increasingly doing many of the responsibilities that traditionally fell under the purview of back end developers.

There are also full-stack engineers, as a side note. They are experienced project managers who are full-stack developers who are skilled in the disciplines of configuring, managing, and maintaining computer networks and systems.
Salary of a front-end developer
A front end developer may make an average of $86,178 annually in the US, according to Glassdoor. Payscale estimates that a “typical” front-end developer can make an annual salary of $71,350.

Junior front end developers (more on them below) typically make around $49,000 year, but that is hardly surprising given the fact that they require less experience and have less duties.

What are Front End Developers’ Prospects?
All things considered, the future is promising for anyone who wishes to work as a front end developer. According to recent assessments, there will be a shortage of over 1 million developers in the United States alone by 2020. Similar studies predict that conditions will be significantly worse for the rest of the world.

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that from 2016 to 2026, employment of web developers will increase by 15% in the US. The rate exceeds the average for all other jobs by a wide margin.

Even though these figures appear amazing, they are not as startling when you take a moment to reflect about the times. More people are working as front end developers as a result of increased Internet usage, particularly among mobile users. The potential of web development is highly correlated with how popular the Internet is becoming, and this trend is continuing unabated. Look no farther if you want to go where the jobs are.
