What does a web developer do?

Web developers are the artists and architects of websites. Through web development these professionals create the look and feel of a webpage, and build the functional capabilities, integrations, content management, and performance of a webpage through coding languages such as JavaScript and SQL. As a web developer, you will:

• Apply accepted “social coding” and best practices (including source control, issue tracking, functional feedback).

• Build a front end website either from scratch or by utilizing a front end framework (such as Bootstrap).

• Craft a full-stack single page application with Ajax communication.

• Create session-based applications utilizing user authentication schemes that are well-known and widely used.

• Deploy static and dynamic websites to the cloud.

• Implement complex logical conditions to meet an objective.

• Understand the basics of troubleshooting and enhancing legacy code.

• Write SQL commands to perform Create, Read, Update, and Delete commands.
