Front-End Development

Earlier in this course, I spoke about my view of front-end development; it seems slightly behind the backend’s maturity from an architectural standpoint. This phenomenon happens partly because on the front-end, there are such elements as styling and web design. These areas require specialized knowledge, which automatically puts qualified designers above experienced engineers. Because of such a shift of focus, the best coding and development practices do not get close to the front-end. I respect those designers who help us build beautiful and responsive user experiences, but naturally, they cannot cover all exposed fronts. As a result, coding, development, and architectural patterns are not so popular on the front-end.
