When it comes to software development, there are dozens of routes you can go in terms of mastering a specific skill set in the development branch. But there’s one specific skillset that every software developer must have a decent understanding of.
And that is web development, especially front-end web development.
Why is Web Development so important?
The main reason why knowing how to develop websites is so important is that there’s a 99% chance that during your career, you will have to work with either websites or web applications that use the same technology.
Next to that, it is highly recommended that you design & develop your portfolio website to build credibility and showcase your skillset on the internet (especially for Job recruiters).
How do I start learning Web Development?
The foundation of web development exists out of three different language that you need to master.
- HTML
- CSS
- JavaScript
No, you do not have to learn those simultaneously, that’s a huge mistake that most beginning developers make when starting to learn web development or any programming language.
You start with one and one only (in this case HTML), and you master it to the point that you are having dreams of it. Then after you’re good with HTML, you switch over to CSS and then JavaScript.
