The traineeship programme at Aspire Systems is an opportunity for many people to challenge themselves as a Frontend Developer. Due to the fact that for the majority of people it will be their first approach to working in the profession, the recruitment process can be stressful. In this article, we’ll tell you who the frontend developer is and how to go through the recruitment process with a smile on your face.

Everything I talk about has been observed by me over the last 10 years in the profession. I encourage you to read the post – especially if you want to apply for the traineeship at Aspire!

Over the mentioned decade in the industry I have encountered many services and software’s. At the same time, I met a lot of amazing artists, more or less advanced specialists, really special people. Each of them during their work sooner or later went through the process of ‘visual verification’. This means presenting the final version of the product to the customer and putting the target group to use. And at this point it gets tricky.

The solutions they used had their pros and cons, but in the end none of them were perfect. In some time the extraordinary solutions turned into obsolete relics. A good example of this is Flash – I still remember a trend for websites full of animation. Writing in ActionScript was fashionable until browsers stopped natively supporting the plugin.

To illustrate what a Frontend Developer deals with, let’s take a simple on-line store as an example. If we look at it from the technical side, we can divide it into two parts: the Frontend, which is seen not only by customers but also by shop admins and the Backend, which is responsible for the correct, safe operation in communication with the database and the network.

This is not all however. It’s not enough to just let customers into the store, because ‘someone’ has to handle them at the checkout, ‘someone’ has to set up products for sale. Therefore, let us add to the mechanism of the on-line store an administration panel to which only authorized persons have access, and in which you can manage orders and update products according to availability in warehouses.

If we look at everything from the technical side, we can divide this general creation into two parts:

Frontend, which is seen not only by customers but also by shop moderators
Backend, which is responsible for correct and safe operation in communication with the database and the network

Frontend Developers focus on the first part. They care not only about the appearance of the website (graphics, UI Design), but also the ease of its usability and UX, accessibility, user-side optimization, adaptation to different devices (Responsive Web Design), and even search engine positioning (SEO).

Let’s start with the fact that there are no set rules that would define the responsibilities of individual positions. Each company has its own definition, and they change depending on the client. However, if you look at it in retrospect, the responsibilities of most of them almost overlap. You can even say that at times it was the same. Therefore, the following definitions can be treated with a pinch of salt.

Web designer – creates a look (design) for the website, often is also a graphic designer or UX / UI designer.
Web developer – cares about the site functioning (setting the environment, creates the website code in the selected language, connects to the database, etc.). You can assume that you are Backend or Middleend Developer.
Webmaster – a combination of Web designer and Web developer, while also taking care of SEO, e-marketing, content, etc. Attention! As of today, this is an outdated job title, because we have someone like…
Fullstack Developer – One Man Band. Front-, Middle- and Back-end Developer in one. He creates all software alone.
Frontend Developer – responsible for Front- and / or Middle-end Development.

I have often heard the opinion that every Frontend Dev is JavaScript Dev and every JavaScript Dev is a Frontend Dev. This is partially true, because Frontend Development is extremely extensive, diverse and complex. I need a lot of tools. Due to the fact that it is our duty to take care of the entire Frontend part of the project, we have to grasp all available and possible solutions, and Java Script as a scripting programming language to ensure the interaction of users with websites.

It should be added that the Frontend Developer can start working on the creation of Wireframe in Adobe XD, and end up putting the REST API in Angular, which is largely dealt with by the JS-Devs. It all depends on the skills of this particular programmer or the project’s needs.

Through the interdisciplinary nature of Frontend Devs, it is not surprising that in the IT industry we can meet Frontend Developers specialized in User Experience, UI design, in SEO and eCommerce or in iOS, Angular,Redux and many other technologies and solutions. Any experienced Frontend Developer will sooner or later come across most of them. Thanks to that, each year he will expand not only his scope of responsibilities, but also his knowledge.

At Aspire, due to customer requirements, a completely separate JavaScript position was created, which is counted as Frontend Development. However, he is expected to specialize in JavaScript, which in turn is associated with greater experience in the previously mentioned middle-end development.

In the next article in this cycle (Part 2) I will write about how to prepare for a job interview and design your CV.

Don’t forget to apply to our traineeship programme! We are waiting for applications until May 12.
