What are the characteristics of Web front-end engineers that enterprises like?

The article that Bian Xiao wants to share with you today is about the characteristics of Web front-end engineers that enterprises like. According to the recruitment requirements of Baidu and Ali, front-end engineers favored by big manufacturers need to have a solid language foundation, strong technical self-drive and the ability to keep pace with the times. Let's take a look with Bian Xiao, hoping to help our friends.

First, a solid language foundation.

What does a solid language foundation mean?

● Create a visual language between designers and engineers;

● Define a set of components representing content, brand and function with visual design;

● Set the bottom line for the conventions, frameworks, requirements, visual languages and specifications of Web applications;

● Set up images with multiple resolutions for Web applications, and establish a solid model based on the equipment, while maintaining the design criteria;

● Mark Web applications with accountSemantics, accessibility, SEO, schemas and Microformats;

● Connect API in a friendly, low-consumption, device-and client-aware way to obtain content;

● Develop client code, display smooth animation, transition, delayed loading, interaction and application workflow, and consider the standards of gradual enhancement and backward compatibility most of the time;

And most front-end engineers in the market are often like this:

● Put Photoshop files, pictures or wireframes into the webpage;

● Occasionally design Photoshop files, pictures or wireframes;

● Programming with JS to make animations and transition effects for web pages;

● Programming with HTML and CSS to determine the content and form of the webpage.

Second, strong technical self-drive.

Excellent front-end engineers have strong technical self-motivation, and they will do the same in the face of ordinary tasks:

●DNS resolution, using CDN, multiple hostnames about resource requests;

●HTTPHeaders(Expires，Cache-Control，If-Modified-Since)；

● All the rules of ●SteveSouders;

● Solve pagespeed, yslow, chromedevtoolsaudit and chrome development tools.

All problems shown in the timeline;

● Know when to transfer tasks to server and client;

● Use caching, prefetching and loading technologies;

●NativeJS, knowing when to start from scratch and when to find someone else's code, and evaluating the pros and cons of doing so;

Front-end engineers who are high or low don't know their own abilities. When they really start working, they will do this:

● Abuse the JS library, because they can't actually understand the inside of JS (such as using jQuery)； for everything);

● Abuse of JS plug-ins, copying other people's code even if you don't understand it at all;

● Add a CSS framework to the Web application, using only 5% CSS/JS, without any requirements, design, comparison and evaluation;

● While talking about "responsive web design", I don't know anything about server-side technology;

● Ignoring software technology.

Third, the ability to keep pace with the times.

With the rapid development of the Internet, the development space of front-end development will become larger and larger, and the increase of development tools will bring more and more challenges to front-end engineers.

For front-end development practitioners, stopping learning means being eliminated by the front-end development industry.

When learning to consolidate front-end knowledge and skills, there will be many small partners who are just getting started or engaged in front-end. In the process of learning, if you encounter problems that are difficult to solve, or it is difficult to find your own problems, you will improve slowly, but don't give up. This is just a problem that every beginner will encounter. Stick to it and constantly update your technical ability. I believe that entering the big factory is just around the corner!

The above is the article that Bian Xiao shared for you today about the characteristics of Web front-end engineers that enterprises like. I hope this article can be helpful to friends who are Web front-ends. If you want to know more about the Web front-end, remember to pay attention to the training of Jade Bird Web front-end in official website and Peking University. Finally, I wish my friends success in their work and become an excellent Web front-end engineer.
