A few years ago, web development was finally divided into backend and frontend. Since then, the evolution of front development has been spectacular. In fact, I would dare to say that progress has been much greater in this specialty. In addition, every so often we witness the appearance of new libraries, frameworks and functionalities that push this world a little further. What used to be limited to HTML, CSS and a bit of Javascript is now a conglomerate of concepts and technologies that must be followed carefully so as not to be left too far behind.

The other day they asked me if I saw sense in the figure of the layout designer in 2020 and, unfortunately, I answered no. Right now I find it very difficult to imagine front development without Javascript. In fact I go further: I would say that it is not enough just to know this language and master some of its frameworks / libraries, but to be more and more complete we need to know a few more things.

Let’s see them!
