Front-End Web Developer Nanodegree Program - Free Preview - Udacity

There is a video in our Front-End Web Developer Nanodegree program entitled “What You’ll Build,” and in the opening scenes of that video, the instructor gives you the opportunity to see what the web would look like without modern front-end web development. Can you guess what it looks like? It’s basically a blank white page with black letters. As the narrator describes it: No design. No interaction. No good.

Front-End Web Development Is How WE Experience The Web

It’s a somewhat unexpectedly powerful moment, and one that clearly reinforces how impactful front-end web developers really are when it comes to how we experience the web. Every single day, millions and millions of us across the globe experience the work of front-end web developers as we do everything from reading the news and checking emails, to applying for a job or researching a health care plan.

YOU Might Be A Front-End Web Developer!

There’s an old saying about how to know whether you’re meant to be a front-end web developer, and it goes something like this: Have you ever visited a website, and wished for a feature that wasn’t there? You might be a front-end web developer!

In all seriousness, one of the most common traits that virtually all front-end web developers share, is empathy for the user. Front-end web developers are all about OUR experience.
