Front-End Development
Front-end web development involves writing programming scripts and building functional layouts which work in tandem to deliver content to a user... on different devices and screens.
Responsive Web Apps
Responsive implementations are more challenging, because the content is effectively bound to the layout 'blocks', which in turn all adapt depending on the current screen or window size.
UX & SEO Optimization
Today the Front-end must also embrace and integrate the principles of UE design and make considerations for SEO web crawlers. This requires expert planning and flexibility during development.
Approach
My development approach is flexible, and in my experience with web software products I’ve found that the best results come from combining agile teams with object-oriented codebases. JavaScript has quickly become the core of the code I write, as our web evolves into full stack JavaScript deployments. I couldn't be more excited for the future of all of our sites!
Here are a few approach points that are important to me as a developer:
Clean Code
The importance of keeping well kept code is difficult to express... but it's mandatory.
Performance
Measure both the page load time and the user transaction time... and reduce them!
Persona Savvy
Persona testing and POV's are incredibly useful. With touch devices, personas seriously help!
User-First
Always think about the user and their needs and perspective... not just the tech.
Open Source
I try to use, integrate and learn from open source projects and Gits whenever possible.
OOP
The Object Oriented Programming approach in JavaScript is amazingly powerful, and fun :)
Skillset
Using a diverse background coupled with an unquenchable thirst to learn, I’ve learned how to consistently bring reliable, semantic, well documented, and error free code to products and services for companies online. The keys to my success are three simple details:
- I enjoy writing code (especially JavaScript)
- I understand and use advanced design principles
- I everything about the internet
