The Complete Guide to Becoming a Web
Developer.

Our daily lives are heavily influenced by technology, from the most basic apps to the most
ground-breaking creations.
A developer created every website or piece of software we come across, but what precisely is
web development and what do they do?
In this article on how to become a web developer, all of these questions will be addressed.
It may appear to outsiders Web Development to be a challenging, perplexing, and largely

But first, let's examine the state of the web development sector in 2023 and ask ourselves
whether going into this field would be a wise career choice.
We'll talk about the following:
Is it a good time to work as a web developer right now?

2. Prior to beginning a new career, it's crucial to think about your options. Can you find plenty of
stability and chances in your new field? How probable is it that you'll land a job once you've
completed the school or bootcamp of your choice?
These inquiries are more critical than ever in light of the last two years. The economy and job
market have both been significantly impacted by the Covid-19 outbreak. The epidemic first
slowed hiring in 2020 when global lockdowns went into effect. However, a research by
Glassdoor found that hiring increased significantly in 2021 as a result of the introduction of the
vaccine and the recovery of the economy.
However, tech hiring accelerated throughout 2021 and into 2022 as workers flocked to sectors
that were more "recession- and covid-proof." In light of this, let's examine the state of the web
development sector in 2023.

Are web developers in demand right now?
You've probably observed that technology permeates every aspect of our life, regardless of
what's happening in the globe.
The majority of what we do involves using technology, whether it's scrolling through our
favorite social media applications, reading the news, making purchases online, or collaborating
with coworkers. A group of web developers is responsible for this technology; they not only
created it but also continuously update it to make sure it functions perfectly.
In today's technologically advanced world, those who can create and maintain websites, apps,
and software have a critical role to play. This is mirrored in the job market for web developers.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that between 2021 and 2031, employment of software
developers would increase by 25% and web developers by a stunning 23%, respectively.
But does this still hold true in light of the two years' unforeseen ups and downs? Yes, in a
nutshell: it appears that web developers have handled the storms reasonably effectively.

3. Based on pay and employment rates, web developer was listed as the sixth best job title in
technology, and software developer came in second!
The average base pay for a web developer in the United States is $77,623 per year as of this
writing. Look at our guide on how much you may earn as a web developer for more
information. Of course, salaries vary depending on region, years of experience, and the exact
abilities you bring to the table.
On Indeed's list of the top occupations for 2022, software engineer ranked seventh, while
backend developer and C++ developer also made the top twenty.
Simply search the web for the most in-demand tech skills and you'll find things like web
development, software engineering, cloud computing, DevOps, and problem-solving. We can
see this continuing until 2023 and beyond.

Search for "web developer" or "full-stack developer" opportunities in your area on websites like
indeed, glassdoor, and LinkedIn if you're eager to estimate the demand for web developers. At
the time of writing, we conducted a quick search for web development positions in the United
States and discovered over 135,000 openings.
As you can see, there is still a significant need for web developers—possibly even more so as a
result of the coronavirus outbreak. In connection with that, how did Covid-19 impact the web
development sector? Let's look at it.
So, do you want to become a web developer?
So what's the final word? Is it a good time to work as a web developer right now?
We believe the solution is quite obvious when considering the current market and anticipated
employment growth provided by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The timing is right to start a
career as a web developer!
Technology is essential to how we work, communicate with loved ones, access healthcare,
shop, and so much more today more than ever. We encourage you to pursue your desire to
work in this exciting business and create cutting-edge technologies.
Additionally, the technology sector has shown to be not just "Covid-proof," but also largely
recession-proof.

4. But let's go back to the beginning first. What is web development exactly, and what does a web
developer perform in practice? Find out by reading on.
What is web development?
Building websites and applications for the internet or a private intranet network is referred to
as web development.
The design of a website is unrelated to web development; rather, it focuses on the coding and
programming that underpin the website's operation.
All of the online tools we use on a daily basis, from the most basic static web pages to social
media platforms and applications, e-commerce websites to content management systems
(CMS), have been created by developers.
Check out our outline of web development if you want to learn more.

Web development vs software engineering.
The terminology and buzzwords, especially those for the position itself, present a barrier to
people interested in learning how to become a web developer. Software engineers, web
developers, and software developers are all titles that people use to introduce themselves. Do
they differ significantly from one another? Although web developers often focus on internet-
based technologies and software engineers on operating systems, the truth is a little bit
different. Which name is used might vary depending on the location, industry, and firm as both
positions share programming languages and technology.
This graph from Google Ngram Viewer shows the progression in these terms' popularity as they
have appeared in books to give you a rough idea of the shifting popularity of these terms:
We've produced a comprehensive reference on the similarities between web developers and
software engineers if you're interested in seeing more graphs illustrating how these titles are
used differently. The fact that web development and software engineering bootcamps
frequently teach you the same programming languages and frameworks is crucial for the time
being. When you graduate and are looking for a job, keep in mind to scan each job description's

5. technology requirements rather than just the title to determine whether your skills match
those listed.
Web development styles
Client-side coding (also known as frontend), server-side coding (sometimes known as backend),
and database technology are the three layers that make up web development.
Let's examine each of these layers more closely.
Client-side (Frontend) (Frontend)
Everything that the end user directly interacts with is referred to as client-side scripting, also
known as frontend development. Client-side code is run in a web browser and directly affects
what website visitors view. The frontend is what controls things like layout, fonts, colors,
menus, and contact forms.

Server-side (Backend) (Backend)
Backend development, often known as server-side programming, is all about what happens in
the background.
A website's backend is essentially the portion that users never see. It is in charge of maintaining
data organization and storage as well as client-side functionality. In order to accomplish this, it
speaks with the front end.
The browser sends a request to the server-side whenever something occurs on the client-side,
such as when a user fills out a form. The frontend code from the server-side "responds" with
pertinent data, which the browser can then understand and display.
Find out more about the distinction between the frontend and the backend.

6. Database engineering.
Database technology is also used by websites. All the files and content required for a website to
run are stored in the database in a form that makes it simple to access, organize, modify, and
save. Most websites normally utilize some kind of relational database management system, and
the database operates on a server (RDBMS).
To put it simply, the frontend, backend, and database technologies all interact to create and
maintain a fully functional website or application, and these three layers together make up the
core of web development.

The distinction between web design and development.
Similar to software engineering, the terms "web development" and "web design" are
sometimes used interchangeably, however they refer to fundamentally different activities.
Imagine a web designer and web developer collaborating to build a car: the developer would be
in charge of all the functional elements, such as the engine, wheels, and gears, while the
designer would be in charge of both the visual aspects, such as how the car appears and how
the dashboard and seats are arranged, as well as the user experience the car offers, such as
how comfortable the ride is.
The style and feel of a website are created by web designers. They design the website's layout,
making sure it is logical, user-friendly, and enjoyable to use.
They take all of the fonts and color palettes will be employed?
Which scrollbars, drop-down menus, and buttons should be present, and where?
The user interacts with which interactive touchpoints to go from point A to point B.
In deciding what content will be included and where it should be displayed, web design also
takes the information architecture of the website into account.

7. Because it is such a large topic, web design is frequently divided into more specialized positions
like information architecture, user interface design, and user experience design.
The task of creating this design into a live, fully functional website falls to the web developer. A
frontend developer uses coding languages like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to build the visual
design that the web designer has provided. The most sophisticated features of the website,
such the checkout process on an e-commerce site, are built by a backend developer.
In a nutshell, the web developer is the builder or engineer, whereas the web designer is the
architect.

A quick overview of the internet's history.
The internet as we know it now has been developed over many years. Let's start at the
beginning and explore how the internet has changed through time to better grasp how web
development functions. The internet connects all distinct WANs and is really a network of
networks. Wide Area Network, also known as WAN, is a telecommunications network that
covers a wide geographic area. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology created the first
WAN in 1965.
This WAN would eventually become known as ARPANET. The US Department of Defense's
Advanced Research Projects Agency provided the original funding for it.
Charley Kline, a UCLA student, sent the first message ever sent over the internet in October
1969.
He attempted to use the ARPANET network to send the word "login" to a machine at the
Stanford Research Institute, but the system crashed after the first two letters. However, the
system recovered an hour or so later, and the full text was successfully transmitted.
Several unproven LAN methods were developed in the early 1970s.

8. A computer network called a "LAN," or local area network, links nearby gadgets in the same
buildings, like those found in schools, universities, and libraries. Two significant turning points
were the creation of ARCNET in 1976 and the development of Ethernet at Xerox Parc between
1973 and 1974.
What is the role of a web developer?
The creation and upkeep of websites is the responsibility of the web developer. Depending on
the kind, web developers may work for an organization or independently, and the specific
duties and responsibilities involved will change accordingly.
You may need to choose between frontend, backend, and full-stack development if you want to
learn how to become a web developer. Full-stack developers have specializations in both the
frontend and the backend; we'll discuss what a full-stack developer does in more detail below.
Web developers are in charge of creating a product that satisfies both the client's and the
customer's or end user's needs. Web designers and developers work together to grasp the
concept for the finished website, including how it should appear and work.

Finding and fixing bugs is a significant component of web development as well, as this allows
developers to continuously optimize and enhance a system or website. Therefore, web
developers are skilled problem solvers who frequently devise solutions and workarounds to
maintain operations.
What is the role of a front-end developer?
The frontend of a website or application, or the portion that users view and interact with, must
be coded, and that is the responsibility of the frontend developer.

9. They take the backend data and transform it into something that is user-friendly, appealing to
the eye, and fully functional. They will use HTML, JavaScript, and CSS (more on those later!) to
bring designs from the web designer to life.
Getting started as a web developer.
So, how do you get started now that you have a decent sense of what's in store for you in this
fascinating field?
The good news is that there are more entrances than ever before because of their popularity.
However, some strategic planning is required to get the most of your career shift to web
development.
Let's quickly go over the steps you need to do to become a web developer:
First, start coding.
You'll need to get your hands dirty, first and foremost.
If you're not even sure you'll enjoy programming, why start a career in it? The internet is chock
full of free coding classes for you to try out, so there are thankfully many ways to get started
with coding for nothing. The free 5-day coding short course from CareerFoundry is the ideal
illustration of this. You can use it to learn how to create, style, and design your first website.
These lessons and tutorials are also excellent for determining your best learning style. Later,
though, more on it!
Prepare your portfolio in step two.
It's crucial that you also have projects to showcase your coding abilities as you learn. You can
start building your web developer portfolio with these tasks, which is a great way to catch the
attention of prospective employers and clients. Being able to demonstrate your abilities is even
more crucial if your focus is more on frontend development.
This is another reason why project-based web development courses and programs are a great
option if you're switching careers. Uncertain of what we mean? For tips and examples of how
it's done, see our whole guide to web developers' portfolios.
Third, start preparing for the job market.
Congratulations! You're now on the home stretch toward becoming a web developer. It's time
to concentrate on a crucial customer journey: that of the business that will hire you. How does
that operate then?

10. Your portfolio should be polished and optimized for potential employers to view in addition to
being full of pertinent projects that highlight your coding abilities. Likewise with your GitHub
profile, LinkedIn profile, and resume. Additionally, you'll be practicing for the recruiter phone
screen and have a methodical plan for your job applications. But you shouldn't limit your
practice to that.
