First of all, let's look at where the front-end newcomers come from with the teachers of Wenhai Web Front-end Training School. Compared with other IT technical positions, Web front-end engineers are half programmers, many of whom are non-computer related majors. This is of course because the Internet industry is attractive and HTML and CSS have a low starting point. At present, it is not uncommon for the whole people to take C (Computer Level 2) in universities, and it is not uncommon for the whole people to make web pages. Moreover, many Web front-end developers are doomed to jump ship because of overlapping positions.
1, the designer turns to the front end.
This situation is the most common, and the reason is related to the popularity of domestic web standards. On the other hand, web designers in China are usually responsible for making pages, so they are naturally interested in their style and data separation. One advantage of the front-end design background is that it can better grasp the performance focus of the design draft and easily resolve some irregular operations of visual designers. The shortcomings are also obvious, such as lack of mathematical foundation, lack of rigorous code and poor JavaScript foundation, which need to be studied and strengthened later.
2. The background programmer turns to the front end.
As a code-related work, it is more suitable for programmers to learn, and the thinking mode is similar. For example, the front-end engineer of Taobao writes Java, and it is often heard that the interview of a background programmer is pushed to the front end and then accepted. Many programmers who switch from the background to the front end mostly do WebApps, that is, Web applications based on Ajax and various complex architectures. This technical direction is also the general trend of Web front end.
3. Networms turn to the front end
With the popularity of the Internet, more and more children are exposed to the Internet for a long time, playing games and writing blogs. If they want to learn something related to the Internet, the first choice is naturally the front end, because the entry requirements are low, and many Twitter celebrities are typical of them. They know better what netizens need, and the programs they write are simple to operate.
4, planning, editing, grassroots webmaster to the front end.
Many website planning and editing are no longer just repetitive tasks such as copying and reposting, but also need to know common codes, which is helpful to improve work efficiency and quality. They gradually began to understand this industry, which is more interesting than ordinary word work, and after in-depth study, such as Javascript, Ajax and other technologies, their employment field has undergone great changes; There are also many grassroots webmasters who have grown up in practice. At first, they just played at several stops. In the process of constantly building stations, they learned some front-end technologies and improved their front-end cultivation. At first, they were all trying to support their families, and gradually they became their own businesses.
Through the above analysis, we can find that there are all kinds of people engaged in the front-end industry of the web, either because of the need of work or because of interest, but for the industry we are about to engage in, we should first be interested in this industry, and only if we are interested can we learn more deeply and overcome the boredom and difficulties in the learning process; It would be better if you can get extra points, for example, the industry you are currently engaged in is related to it, or the major of university studies is related to IT. It doesn't matter. As long as you are interested and have unremitting passion, you can also embark on the career path of front-end development through the efforts of the day after tomorrow. Even if the current work has nothing to do with the front end, with the deepening of the work and the improvement of one's own ability, the transfer of interest points is not impossible.
