The Whats & Whys in a FE Senior position

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on dev.to

Our great sponsors
  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • CPython

    The Python programming language

  • As a FE dev, having Javascript or Python is a must, the most used languages worldwide now.

  • webpack

    A bundler for javascript and friends. Packs many modules into a few bundled assets. Code Splitting allows for loading parts of the application on demand. Through "loaders", modules can be CommonJs, AMD, ES6 modules, CSS, Images, JSON, Coffeescript, LESS, ... and your custom stuff.

  • Errors during the building phase of an application are not odd, in fact, several times they are expected, knowing about the process under the hood can give some guidance related to the issues and how to fix them; also what if the client complaints about a lot of console errors, the performance of the page is too low, the build takes a lot of time to get deployed, all of these could be part of a lack of knowledge in the process of building and deploying. Required flags, changing the build environment, optimize the build, tree shaking the build, handling alerts on the build size, all of this needs to be covered; learning about Webpack and Rollup could have a big impact in your next deploy.

  • SurveyJS

    GraphQL Foundation Charter and Legal Documents (by graphql)

  • The only constant is the change, even more in technology; some years ago, there was something called SOAP, the most used way to interact with http request/responses in xml format; later we had(and still have) Rest has been hanging around for a while, the days of interacting with XMLs are over(for most of the devs out there), plenty of services rely on Rest now; Graphql is the new member of the family, even though it is not a protocal, instead a query language, makes the API interaction cleaner, it is easy to learn and use, and has a lot of support, so better start learning now!
