How To Think Like A Front-End Developer

Tuesday, 16th – 5:20 PM

The job title front-end developer is very real. Job boards around the world confirm that. But what is that job exactly? What do you need to know to do it? What do the people that are very good at it think about how and why they do their work?

We're going to go through a journey through all of this, not just for the sake of it, but because we'll learn how we can be better at our job by understanding how other people are good at theirs.

We'll also get into the idea that front-end development might be going through a bit of an identity crisis with the front end becoming home to more and more complex technology.
