What tools and programming languages should a front-end developer know?

Frontend rests on three pillars: HTML, CSS and JavaScript. These are the basic technologies without which no site can be built. But using them, developers have to write code from scratch every time, which is not always advisable, as it takes a lot of time and effort. That's why projects often use frameworks — software platforms that make up a ready-made structure and standard modules that greatly simplify and speed up work processes.

In our company, you can find frontend developers with any stack. In particular, in addition to standard HTML, CSS and JavaScript, we can use the following technologies:

• Vue.js. A lightweight JavaScript framework that's ideal for creating front-ends and single-page applications. It is built on the basis of a component approach, which allows you to create applications from many small and reusable components.
• Nuxt. The framework uses the capabilities of Vue.js and Node.js to create versatile and productive solutions. One of the main advantages of the technology is the possibility of UI rendering on the server, which increases the response speed of the interface.
• Vuex. A state management library for Vue.js applications that provides unidirectional data flow.
• React.js. A reactive JavaScript library with a component architecture and virtual DOM that allows you to create complex and responsive user interfaces that instantly respond to user requests.
• Next.js. In fact, it is a framework for the React.js library, which provides a set of tools and functions for fast and efficient development of interfaces.

How to correctly check the competence of a front-end developer?

Before connecting a specialist to the project and trusting him to perform real tasks, you should make sure that he has the necessary experience, qualifications and will be able to work successfully in your team. This is especially important when you are dealing with freelance frontend developers whose competence is not guaranteed by anyone.

The most reliable way to check competences is a technical interview, during which you should find out:

• Technical skills . Does the specialist have the necessary technical knowledge to successfully complete the project. Find out his level: junior, middle or senior.
• Experience . Does the potential candidate have experience working in your niche or on similar projects? Ask for a link to a code example repository, such as GitHub.
• Communication . If you hire an offshoring specialist, that is, in another country, make sure that he can work in your time zone, and knows the language and culture of the country for which the product is being created.
• Cost . Carefully evaluate the candidate's rating, making sure that it fits the project budget. This is an important aspect of effective business management.
• Organizational issues . Research how processes were organized at the candidate's previous place of work: who formulated tasks, how code was documented and tested. This will help to understand how the specialist integrates into the team and how effectively he copes with the tasks.
