Front end web developer skills you need to know

To become a successful front-end web developer, you’ll need a solid foundation in key skills. Mastering HTML & CSS is essential for creating the structure and style of websites.

JavaScript and ES6 add interactivity and modern functionality, while CSS & JS frameworks like Bootstrap and React streamline development.

Understanding GIT & GITHUB for version control and implementing responsive design ensures your projects work seamlessly across all devices.

In this article, we will review some of the key skills required for expert front web development.

Download Infographic

HTML & CSS

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) are the backbone of front-end web development. HTML structures the content of a web page, using elements like headings, paragraphs, links, and images.

CSS styles that content, controlling layout, colours, fonts, spacing, and responsiveness. Together, they allow developers to create visually engaging and well-structured websites.

Mastering HTML & CSS is crucial before moving on to more advanced topics like JavaScript or frameworks. You’ll need to understand concepts such as semantic HTML, CSS selectors, the box model, and media queries.

There are plenty of free and paid resources to help you learn. Great starting points include MDN Web Docs, W3Schools, and freeCodeCamp’s Responsive Web Design certification.

Platforms like Codecademy and Coursera also offer beginner-friendly courses. Practising by building small projects is one of the most effective ways to reinforce your learning.

JavaScript

JavaScript is a core technology of front-end web development, used alongside HTML and CSS to create dynamic, interactive websites. While HTML provides the structure and CSS handles styling, JavaScript enables user interaction by manipulating elements on the page in real-time.

It’s responsible for features such as form validation, image sliders, dropdown menus, modal windows, and dynamic content updates without reloading the page (using AJAX). JavaScript interacts with the Document Object Model (DOM), allowing developers to modify HTML and CSS based on user actions like clicks, scrolls, or keystrokes.

Modern front-end development often uses JavaScript libraries and frameworks such as React, Vue.js, or jQuery to streamline development and enhance functionality. Understanding JavaScript fundamentals is essential before diving into these tools.

There are excellent resources to learn JavaScript, whether you’re a beginner or looking to advance your skills. Top recommendations include JavaScript.info, MDN Web Docs, and freeCodeCamp. You can also find interactive tutorials on Codecademy, as well as comprehensive courses on platforms like Udemy and Coursera.

For in-depth understanding, the book Eloquent JavaScript is highly regarded in the developer community. Practising through small projects and coding challenges will solidify your knowledge.

ES6

ES6 (ECMAScript 2015) is a major update to the JavaScript language, introducing powerful new features that make coding more efficient and maintainable. It brought significant improvements to JavaScript syntax and functionality, including let and const for block-scoped variable declarations, arrow functions for cleaner, more concise function expressions, template literals for easier string formatting, and destructuring for simplifying data extraction from arrays and objects.

ES6 also introduced promises for better handling of asynchronous operations, modules for organising code into reusable components, and classes for a more structured, object-oriented approach to JavaScript development.

ES6 has become a standard in front-end web development, forming the backbone of modern frameworks like React, Vue.js, and Angular, where these features are heavily utilised to create fast, scalable, and maintainable web applications. It also improves code readability and reduces common bugs, making it an essential skill for front-end developers.

To learn ES6, great resources include MDN Web Docs, JavaScript.info, freeCodeCamp’s JavaScript course, and Codecademy’s interactive tutorials. The book Eloquent JavaScript also covers ES6 in depth, while platforms like Udemy and Coursera offer structured courses for more in-depth learning. Practising with real-world projects is the best way to master ES6.

CSS & JS Frameworks

CSS and JavaScript frameworks play a vital role in front-end web development by streamlining the coding process and reducing development time.

CSS frameworks like Bootstrap, Tailwind CSS, and Foundation provide pre-written CSS classes and components for creating responsive layouts, navigation menus, buttons, and more. They help ensure consistent design and save developers from writing repetitive code.

JavaScript frameworks such as React, Vue.js, and Angular offer structured approaches to building interactive user interfaces and managing complex application states. These frameworks simplify DOM manipulation, improve performance, and enable the creation of reusable components.

By using these frameworks, developers can build modern, responsive, and scalable web applications more efficiently.

To learn CSS frameworks, explore the official documentation for Bootstrap or Tailwind CSS, as well as tutorials on freeCodeCamp and W3Schools. For JS frameworks, the React and Vue.js official docs, MDN Web Docs, Codecademy, and Scrimba offer excellent learning paths.

GIT & GITHUB

GIT and GitHub are essential tools for front-end web developers, enabling efficient version control and collaboration. GIT is a distributed version control system that tracks code changes, allowing developers to manage project history, revert to earlier versions, and work on multiple features simultaneously using branches.

GitHub is a cloud-based platform that hosts GIT repositories, making it easy for developers to collaborate, share code, and contribute to open-source projects. It also offers features like pull requests, code reviews, and issue tracking to streamline development workflows.

In front-end web development, GIT and GitHub are used to manage code for websites and applications, ensuring version control and seamless collaboration. They also make it easy to showcase projects in a professional portfolio.

To learn GIT and GitHub, consider GitHub Learning Lab, freeCodeCamp, Codecademy, and MDN Web Docs. Platforms like GitHub Docs and GitKraken also provide excellent guides and tutorials for beginners.

Responsive Design

Responsive design is a crucial aspect of front-end web development, ensuring that websites look and function well across a wide range of devices, from mobile phones to large desktop screens.

It focuses on creating flexible layouts, images, and components that automatically adjust to different screen sizes and orientations. This approach enhances user experience, boosts SEO, and reduces bounce rates by delivering a consistent browsing experience, regardless of the device.

Responsive design relies on key techniques like media queries, flexbox, and CSS grid to control the layout and structure of a website. Fluid grids and responsive images ensure content scales appropriately, while mobile-first design prioritises smaller screens before scaling up to larger devices.

Many front-end frameworks, like Bootstrap and Tailwind CSS, include built-in responsive design features, making it easier to create flexible layouts.

In modern front-end development, responsive design is essential, as mobile traffic continues to grow. It’s a core requirement for building professional websites and web applications.

To learn responsive design, consider resources like MDN Web Docs, W3Schools, and freeCodeCamp’s Responsive Web Design certification.

Books like Responsive Web Design with HTML5 and CSS by Ben Frain and platforms like Codecademy also offer comprehensive tutorials.

Building small projects and experimenting with media queries is a practical way to master this vital skill, ensuring your web pages deliver a seamless experience across all devices.

Conclusion

Mastering front-end web development skills like HTML & CSS, JavaScript, ES6, CSS & JS frameworks, GIT & GitHub, and responsive design is essential for building modern, high-performing websites.

These skills form the foundation of interactive, responsive, and visually appealing web pages. By leveraging powerful frameworks and adopting best practices, you can streamline your workflow and create exceptional user experiences.

With countless online resources available, from MDN Web Docs to freeCodeCamp, there’s never been a better time to start your front-end development journey. Keep practising, stay curious, and continue expanding your skill set to become a proficient developer.

Getting Started with PHP: A Beginner's Guide to Your First "Hello World" Program

Introduction

PHP tutorial for beginners and professionals provides in-depth knowledge of PHP scripting language. Our PHP tutorial will help you to learn PHP scripting language easily.

This PHP tutorial covers all the topics of PHP such as introduction, control statements, functions, array, string, file handling, form handling, regular expression, date and time, object-oriented programming in PHP, math, PHP MySQL, PHP with Ajax, PHP with jQuery and PHP with XML.

What is PHP

PHP is an open-source, interpreted, and object-oriented scripting language that can be executed at the server side. PHP is well suited for web development. Therefore, it is used to develop web applications (an application that executes on the server and generates the dynamic page.).

PHP was created by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1994 but appeared in the market in 1995. PHP 7.0 is the latest version of PHP, which was released on 28 November. Some important points need to be noticed about PHP are as follows:

PHP stands for Hypertext Preprocessor.

PHP is an interpreted language, i.e., there is no need for compilation.

PHP can be embedded into HTML.

PHP is an object-oriented language.

PHP is an open-source scripting language.

PHP is simple and easy to learn language.

Why use PHP

PHP is a server-side scripting language, which is used to design dynamic web applications with MySQL database.

It handles dynamic content, database as well as session tracking for the website.

You can create sessions in PHP.

It can access cookies variables and also set cookies.

Using PHP language, you can control the user's to access some pages of your website.

It helps to encrypt the data and apply validation.

PHP supports several protocols such as HTTP, POP3, SNMP, LDAP, IMAP, and many more.

PHP Features

 

 Install PHP

To install PHP, we will suggest you to install AMP (Apache, MySQL, PHP) software stack. It is available for all operating systems. There are many AMP options available in the market that are given below:

 

WAMP for Windows

LAMP for Linux

MAMP for Mac

SAMP for Solaris

FAMP for FreeBSD

XAMPP (Cross, Apache, MySQL, PHP, Perl) for Cross Platform: It includes some other components too such as FileZilla, OpenSSL, Webalizer, Mercury Mail, etc.

 

How to install XAMPP server on windows

We will learn how to install the XAMPP server on windows platform step by step. Follow the below steps and install the XAMPP server on your system.

Step 1: Click on the above link provided to download the XAMPP server according to your window requirement.

Step 2: After downloading XAMPP, double click on the downloaded file and allow XAMPP to make changes in your system. A window will pop-up, where you have to click on the Next button.

Step 3: Here, select the components, which you want to install and click Next.

Step 4: Choose a folder where you want to install the XAMPP in your system and click Next

Step 5: Click Next and move ahead

Step 6: XAMPP is ready to install, so click on the Next button and install the XAMPP.

Step 7: A finish window will display after successful installation. Click on the Finish button

Step 8: Choose your preferred language

Step 9: XAMPP is ready to use. Start the Apache server and MySQL and run the php program on the localhost.

Step 10: If no error is shown, then XAMPP is running successfully

How to run PHP code in XAMPP

Generally, a PHP file contains HTML tags and some PHP scripting code. It is very easy to create a simple PHP example. To do so, create a file and write HTML tags + PHP code and save this file with .php extension.

All PHP code goes between the php tag. It starts with <?php and ends with ?>. The syntax of PHP tag is given below:

<?php   

//your code here 

?>  

How to run PHP programs in XAMPP PHP is a popular backend programming language. PHP programs can be written on any editor, such as - Notepad, Notepad++, Dreamweaver, etc. These programs save with .php extension, i.e., filename.php inside the htdocs folder.

For example - p1.php.

As I'm using window, and my XAMPP server is installed in D drive. So, the path for the htdocs directory will be "D:\xampp\htdocs".

Step 1: Create a simple PHP program like hello world.

<?php      

echo "Hello World!";  

?>  

Step 2: Save the file with hello.php name in the htdocs folder, which resides inside the xampp folder.

Step 3: Run the XAMPP server and start the Apache and MySQL.

Step4: Now, open the web browser and type localhost http://localhost/hello.php on your browser window.

Step 5: The output for the above hello.php program will be shown as the screenshot below

Most of the time, PHP programs run as a web server module. However, PHP can also be run on CLI (Command Line Interface).

Whether you're building a personal website, creating a dynamic user interface, or adding interactive elements to your projects, jQuery can be an invaluable tool. In this beginner's guide, we'll walk you through the basics of using jQuery and how you can get started with it, including the use of an Online jQuery Editor or jQuery Online Compiler.

Understanding the Basics of jQuery

Before diving into jQuery, it's essential to have a fundamental understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. jQuery is a JavaScript library, and having a solid grasp of these foundational web technologies will make learning jQuery much more manageable.

Getting Started with jQuery

Here are the steps to get started with jQuery:

Include jQuery: To use jQuery, you first need to include the jQuery library in your HTML document. You can do this by adding a link to the jQuery library hosted on a Content Delivery Network (CDN) or by downloading the library and linking to it locally.

html

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.0.min.js"></script>

Create a jQuery Script: You typically include your jQuery code inside a tag in your HTML document. To ensure your code executes after the page has loaded, you can wrap it in a document ready function:

javascript

$(document).ready(function() { // Your jQuery code goes here });

Selecting Elements: One of the fundamental aspects of jQuery is selecting HTML elements and manipulating them. You can select elements by their HTML tag, class, or ID. For example:

Select all elements: $("p")

Select elements with a specific class: $(".classname")

Select an element by its ID: $("#elementID")

Performing Actions: Once you've selected an element, you can perform actions on it. Common actions include:

Changing the content: $(element).text("New text")

Changing the style: $(element).css("property", "value")

Adding or removing classes: $(element).addClass("classname"), $(element).removeClass("classname")

Handling Events: jQuery simplifies event handling. You can use functions like .click(), .hover(), or .submit() to define what happens when a user interacts with an element.

Animations: jQuery provides easy-to-use animation functions, such as .fadeIn(), .fadeOut(), and .slideDown(), to create dynamic effects on your website.

Ajax: jQuery simplifies making asynchronous requests to a web server using the .ajax() function, allowing you to retrieve or send data without requiring a page refresh.

Practicing with an Online jQuery Editor

To practice jQuery, you can use an Online jQuery Editor or jQuery Online Compiler. These web-based platforms offer a convenient way to write, test, and experiment with jQuery code in real time. You can access them from any device with an internet connection and a web browser, making them accessible and beginner-friendly.

Additional Resources for Learning jQuery

jQuery Documentation: The official jQuery documentation is an excellent resource for in-depth learning. It provides comprehensive information about jQuery functions, methods, and examples.

Online Tutorials: Many online tutorials and courses are designed to help beginners learn jQuery step by step. These tutorials often include hands-on exercises and projects.

Books: Consider reading books dedicated to jQuery, such as "jQuery in Action" or "Learning jQuery" to gain a deeper understanding of the library.

Conclusion

jQuery is a versatile and accessible tool for beginners and experienced developers alike. With an understanding of the basics, practice, and access to an Online jQuery Editor or jQuery Online Compiler, you can start creating dynamic, interactive web content. Don't hesitate to explore tutorials, documentation, and additional resources to further develop your jQuery skills and bring your web projects to life.

Happy coding!
