Web Apps

 

(Complex/Sophisticated)

 

Front-end development would have become a nightmare without the progression it has undergone over the years

 

Though it is now a challenge to be a great web developer. 

Now you have to comprehend a lot more things compared to a few years ago.
 

We choose to do the HARD things.

 

1,400,000 Developers

 

shortage (let alone great ones and this is the U.S only) by the year 2020

Well Paying, High Demand, Rewarding

 

What Most Schools Don't Teach

 

The
Problem!

 
​ THE PROBLEM:
  • web sites & apps are becoming much more complex
  • Code complexity grows as the web applications gets bigger and/or complex
  • Assembly/building to ship gets harder
  • Repackaging for production deployment (every time), they are living and breathing specimen
  • Developer wants to modularise their code.
  • Clients want/need optimized apps (eg. as few as possible HTTP calls, no reloading...etc)
  • Code blocks and tasks become repetitive
  • Debugging is a nightmare for large code blocks
  • Ship the product every month if not everyday or  every minutes
 

The
Solution!

 
 THE SOLUTION:
 Front-end developers need a solution with:
  • Scaffolding (everybody needs this)

  • Linting (Errors, I see you!!)

  • Automated real-time error/bug reports
  • Some sort of #include/import/require or generally a build tool
  • Ability to load nested dependencies
  • Agile deployment
  • Some forms of repetitive task automation
  • Shipping ready/production quality right from development
  • Ship it everyday (^_^)
 

THE AGE OF TOOLS:

  • Frameworks & Design Patterns

  • Preprocessors or Pre-compilers

  • Transpilers (ES6)

  • Task Automation

  • Package Management

  • Scaffolding

  • Versioning

  • Templating Systems

  • Continuous Integration & Deployment
