Transcripts
hey what's going on guys so if you want
to become a web developer these days it
can be very overwhelming for for many
different reasons including the amount
of Technologies and tools available the
rapidly evolving landscape especially
with all the AI advancements and just
the vast amount of information to absorb
and in the past when we classify web
development our web developer positions
we really divide them into three
categories and that's front end back end
and full stack but the truth is that
there's so much more to that there's a
lot of sub categories and I'd say the
lines between the front end and back end
are really really starting to blur
especially with Technologies like
server-side Frameworks or server-side
rendering Frameworks serverless
functions and again with AI doing more
and more the general work I think that
now is a better time than ever to really
establish yourself in a specific area so
with that said what I want to do in this
video is just look at a an in-depth list
of more targeted paths that you can take
and different roles that are available
under the wide range of web development
so front-end back-end full stack they're
all meshed into these categories but I
didn't use those umbrella terms to
describe any of these categories so this
will probably be quite a long video
because I do want to really dig in and
look at the skills and tools that you'll
need if you do decide to really Niche
down and take one of these paths now
before we get started I just want to say
that I've met a lot of people through
the years doing this and it seems like a
lot of the people that have really made
it and have become really successful are
ones that focus on a specific area and
become an expert in that area so just
keep that in mind because I know a lot
of people try to learn everything and
master everything and it's just
impossible so it's better to really find
something that you're into that you
really love and stick to that area and
focus on that set of Technologies those
tools and so on all right so let's take
a look at the list
[Music]
all right guys so this may be a bit of a
lengthy video because there's 15
different roles and paths that I want to
go over and I'll talk about what each
role entails including skills and
Technologies and feel free just to kind
of let this play in the car or in the
background while you clean or cook the
slides are just some bullet points for
each role or position they're not really
things you have to look at
so the first area is not even full-blown
web development it's more in the area of
web design and that's a UI ux designer
which stands for user interface and user
experience so when you go to or you
build a website or an application there
are stories to create for users to
follow and this is where UI ux designers
come into play they focus on creating
the look The feel and functionality of
the user interface and they ensure that
it's visually appealing and user
friendly and I think that this gets
overlooked a lot when it comes to talks
about web development I mean great you
know react or you know view but someone
has to put together the story and the
flow and the the design aspects of that
application and it's an incredibly
important position so it and it's really
just the start of everything so if you
feel like you have more of an eye for
design more than hardcore programming
and logic then this might be a route to
take and you'll need to have a good eye
for design and understand design
principles like typography white space
visual hierarchy your main software in
this case won't be an IDE or a text
editor like the rest of these roles
it'll be some kind of design tool like
figma Envision or something like that so
you'll also create wireframes to plan
out the layout and the structure of web
pages or app screens and develop
interactive prototypes to test and
refine the user experience so this last
one here is just my opinion but even if
you're going to be a UI ux designer I
think you should still have some basic
understanding of HTML and CSS not that
you have to take any layout and be able
to take any layout and create a web page
from it but just having that basic
knowledge I think that it can help
bridge the gap between design and
development and lead to smoother
collaboration with Developers and a more
cohesive final product but that's just
my opinion
so next we have a single page app or a
spa developer and this is essentially a
front-end developer and this is where we
specialize in creating single page
applications which are web apps that
load once from the server and then
dynamically update the content without
requiring the page to reload and the
Technologies used to do this are
front-end JavaScript Frameworks like
react angular views felt so a big part
of your job is mastering one of these
Frameworks and its ecosystem and
obviously HTML and CSS also play a big
part in this as well
so you'll Implement client-side routing
to manage your views your components
State Management is extremely important
and is probably the toughest part of
building a single page application at
least in my opinion so you'll be using
tools like Redux or view X to manage
your application State and you'll also
need to know how to interact with apis
even though you won't be creating you
know rest apis or graphql apis you'll
still need to know how to interact with
them so you'll need to know HTTP methods
and Status codes headers and more you'll
be using the fetch API or something like
axios pretty often so that's a front-end
developer or a single page application
developer next we have server side
developers which is basically what we
know as a full stack developer and they
specialize in creating web applications
that that generate and render content on
the server before delivering it to the
client's browser and there's a few ways
to do this and different combinations of
Technologies so you could use something
like PHP with laravel with blade
templating or you could take advantage
of the newer SSR Frameworks Like nexjs
Remix nuxjs and have some code on the
client and some on the server so the
javascript-based SSR Frameworks are
really popular right now but other
languages have had a lot of the same
capabilities that those give us for
years now so you can be a server-side
web developer and specialize in
something like python or PHP golang
c-sharp or just about anything else so
you'll pick a server-side technology or
language
along with a framework you could also go
the more modern SSR route databases and
orms play an important part so postgres
myc equal mongodb things like that as
well as orms to connect and interact
with those database systems whether
that's sqlize or mongoose or something
like Prisma and then if you go the
traditional fully server-side app and
you don't want to work with front-end
JavaScript Frameworks then you'll
probably be looking at template engines
like ejs pug blade twig there's tons and
tons of them different languages and
different Frameworks have or use
different template engines
and then authentication and
authorization are also extremely
important so you learn about sessions
cookies Json web tokens learn to use
oauth to use logins from third-party
platforms like Google GitHub Facebook
I'd say this role is probably the has
the widest range of Technologies on this
list there's really so many so many
different types of
server server-side Developers
now the next one is API and
microservices developer and it's a
specific type of backend developer that
specializes in designing developing and
maintaining microservice architectures
and apis so they basically create small
independent services that communicate
through apis enabling the development of
scalable and modular applications and
this is similar to what a back-end web
developer would do except they only
focus on the heavy Logic the data rather
than rendering views they don't worry
about templates and HTML and all that
their end result is going to be just a
Json format or some other data format
again you'll be working with a
server-side language and that could be
node.js python kotlin c-sharp whatever
it might be and you'll need to
understand the principles and patterns
of microservices including service
Discovery load balancing and fault
tolerance you'll Implement API gateways
for routing and load balancing requests
to microservices and you'll be creating
secure apis and implementing
authentication and authorization so if
you really like the kind of behind the
scenes logic and never really enjoyed
the UI creation then this may be a good
path to take
so next up we have the devops engineer
and this is the person that focuses on
the deployment and operations of the
application so they're the ones that are
responsible for the infrastructure such
as the servers databases and other
services they're also the ones that are
responsible for the whole deployment
process such as continuous integration
continuous deployment and you'll get
really familiar with Cloud providers as
a devops engineer so AWS Azure even even
companies like digitalocean maybe even
Firebase Super Bass there's so many
different platforms out there
infrastructure is a big part of devops
so you'll learn infrastructure as code
with platforms like terraform
serverless functions as well as CI CD
with tools like Circle CI GitHub actions
Jenkins you'll also Implement things
like monitoring logging and alerting
using various software there so overall
these are the folks that make sure
everything runs like a well-oiled
machine behind the scenes for managing
servers and databases to deploying
applications seamlessly that's the role
of devops and again their toolkit
includes Cloud providers container
Technologies which I didn't mention so
like Docker I would Docker with
kubernetes these are some common tools
that you'll use in devops
so next we have mobile developers and
mobile devs specialize in creating
applications for mobile devices such as
smartphones and tablets they're
responsible for developing apps that run
on iOS Android or both platforms and
mobile development is uh obviously a
rapidly growing field and it offers
various career opportunities and there's
a couple couple different types of
mobile developers there's native mobile
developers which are the ones that
create apps for a specific platform such
as iOS or Android and then you also have
cross-platform mobile developers which
are the ones that create apps that work
on multiple platforms so IOS and Android
and in many cases they use a framework
like react native or flutter to create
those cross-platform apps so if you're a
web developer and you want to get into
Mobile development you can actually use
your existing skills to create mobile
apps using Frameworks like react native
if you do want to strictly do Native iOS
then you're going to learn Swift or
objective c and if you want to stick
with Android that would be kotlin or
Java for cross-platform and more web dev
friendly you know you have react native
flutter and you have some other ones as
well so and you'll probably be creating
apis along with your mobile apps using
whatever language you prefer
so next we have freelance web developer
and I wanted to put this in its own
category because it's a very different
type of role than working for a company
you can be a freelancer with any of the
one any of the previous roles that we've
talked about but in the world of
freelancing it's about finding tools
that allow you to build websites and
applications very quickly and
efficiently you also need to be able to
communicate with clients and manage
projects so if you're a solo freelancer
then you you need to be everything the
UI ux person front-end developer
back-end devops and everything else
however you usually work on smaller
scale projects and don't need a lot of
the same tools that you would in the
industry for instance most Freelancers
don't use something like Docker at least
in my in my own experience I can't speak
for everybody
so content Management systems are huge
and freelancing because they allow you
to get projects out quick with a lot of
functionality including having your
clients be able to log into an admin
area and add their own content so
WordPress is huge in the freelance world
but you also have newer headless content
Management Systems like strappy and
sanity.io that are also gaining a lot of
traction with Freelancers and smaller
agencies and then static site generators
like Gatsby and Astro are also gaining
popularity because there are other tools
that allow you to build very high
performance websites in a very short
amount of time and when I say static I
don't mean there's no Dynamic
functionality you can still work with
apis and headless content Management
systems and things like that even though
it's a static site generator you just
don't have a server so website Site
Builders are another tool that some
Freelancers take advantage of because
again they get things done quickly these
are usually the more business oriented
Freelancers that build more I'd say
simple brochure like websites and not
really complex applications they're more
concerned with getting the you know
getting the client customers rather than
creating crazy you know complex
Technologies
so uh what else you need good
communication skills with clients I know
a lot of developers have social issues
including myself I struggled and still
struggle with social anxiety however if
you want something bad enough and you're
passionate enough you can find those
skills inside of you all right you still
you need to know how to Market yourself
as well so next we have an e-commerce
developer obviously they specialize in
building e-commerce sites or online
shopping platforms they deal with
payment gateways customer management
systems they play a crucial role in
enabling businesses to sell products or
services online and custom e-commerce
websites can be pretty daunting
especially because you're dealing with
money and transactions and if you if you
do take on custom e-commerce projects
just make sure you know what you're
doing I know people that specialize in
creating custom platforms for businesses
and they can make up to five six figures
just for from a single project and you
could use existing platforms like
woocommerce and Shopify obviously you
won't make as much money per project but
it's a lot less of a headache than
creating them from scratch
so you'll need to learn like I said
payment gateways like stripe and PayPal
user accounts and authentication are
obviously really important just the
overall flow of an e-commerce site from
product pages to inventory checkout
shopping cart flows
refunds customer management and the list
just goes on and on so there's a ton of
logistics that you just don't have with
other types of projects so it's a good
area to really specialize in and like I
said you could also work with existing
platforms like Shopify especially if
you're freelancing
so the next one is is much different
than the traditional web developer role
so this is a web security specialist but
it's still very very important and
related to web development so web
security Specialists are responsible for
protecting websites and web applications
from cyber attacks they're also
responsible for identifying and fixing
security vulnerabilities and this is a
very important role especially with all
the data breaches that have been
happening lately and if you're
interested in this role you'll need to
learn about web security vulnerabilities
and how to prevent them SQL injections
cross-site scripting things like that
you'll also need to learn about
penetration testing and how to perform
security Audits and you you'll use tools
like the burp Suite a wasp zap and many
others that will kind of help you find
and prevent these these security issues
and you'll also be conducting security
Audits and need understand
certain security compliance this is
really out of my wheelhouse I would say
out of all of these this is the one that
I have the least experience with
so next we have a web slash mobile game
developer and these are really two
different categories web and mobile
native mobile game development is a bit
more intricate and you can use you know
c-sharp with the unity game engine for
instance that's a popular combination if
you do want to stick to web games and
JavaScript you can try the phaser game
engine for 2D games in the browser and
this is a very Niche area of web
development but it is also a lot of fun
so you'll Master game logic game physics
game design principles you'll create
immersive gameplay experiences that
challenge and entertain users and cross
browser and cross-device compatibility
is obviously extremely important as well
as performance optimization nobody likes
laggy games
so next we have a blockchain developer
they specialize in building
decentralized applications and smart
contracts using blockchain Technologies
like ethereum binance smart chain polka
dot I'd say stick to ethereum for now
this field involves creating secure and
transparent applications that leverage
blockchains
distributed Ledger capabilities and
you'll learn how to write smart
contracts using languages like solidity
or rust and you learn all about the
principles and the tools used in
decentralized finance or D5 and there's
libraries you can use like web3js to
interact with blockchain networks from
web applications and you want to be
aware of blockchain security best
practices because obviously blockchain
transactions are irreversible
so the next one is it seems really fun
to me it's not something I have much
experience with but it's augmented
reality and virtual reality developer so
this is where you create immersive
experiences that blend the digital and
the physical world and they use
Technologies like Arc kit arcore webvr
to build web applications that enhance
reality or create entirely virtual
environments and this specialization
requires expertise in 3D modeling
spatial Computing and interaction design
so there's special AR VR Frameworks like
Unity 3D and A-frame you should also get
a handle on like I said 3D modeling and
animation to create assets for AR VR
environments and you can also Implement
gesture recognition and hand tracking
for user input so really really cool
stuff
next we have a pwa or Progressive web
app developer and they specialize in
creating web applications that offer a
native app-like experience across
different devices and platforms so pwas
are known for their offline capabilities
fast load times and responsiveness and
it really combines web development
skills with mobile app development
principles so it's almost like a middle
ground between a web app developer and a
mobile app developer so you'll need to
understand and Implement things like
service workers to enable offline
functionality and background
synchronization it'll create web app
manifest files to define the app's
appearance and behavior Implement
caching strategies to optimize the app's
performance and reduce load times and
enable push notifications to engage
users and re-engage them with the app
so next we have Internet of Things or
iot developer so these developers
specialize in connecting physical
devices and objects to the internet
allowing them to communicate and share
data so they create web-based
applications that control and monitor
iot devices enabling Automation and
data-driven decision making and I think
this is really cool because I have a ton
of smart home stuff and I'm always
curious what kind of apis are available
and what I could do with them I just
haven't had really had the time to get
into it so you'll familiarize yourself
with iot communication protocols like
mqtt and even HTTP and then learn how to
interface with the hardware with sensors
actuators microcontrollers Etc and then
utilize cloud-based iot platforms like
AWS iot you'll also set up data
streaming pipelines to collect and
analyze data from these devices so
lastly we have a chatbot developer and
with the advancement of AI chat Bots are
absolutely huge right now chatbot
developers specialize in creating
conversational agents or chat Bots that
interact with users through either text
or voice interfaces and they design and
develop chatbot applications for a
variety of purposes including customer
support e-commerce and informational or
information retrieval and then natural
language processing or NLP is something
that you really need to get into it's a
subfield of AI that focuses on the
interaction between computers and human
language and it involves the development
of algorithms and models that enable
computers to understand interpret and
generate human language in a valuable
way so you'll learn NLP techniques and
libraries like NLT a Spacey or
tensorflow for language understanding
you'll also explore voice-based chatbot
development for platforms like Amazon
Alexa Google assistant and so on so
you'll develop chat Bots that can
maintain contacts and engage in
meaningful conversations rather than
just asking a question and getting an
answer you can you know Converse back
and forth like you can with chat GPT for
instance
all right guys so there you have it
there's so many areas of web development
that you can get into so take some time
sit down really think about what you
want to do what are you passionate about
if you've always loved video games maybe
you want to get into web game
development if you love to create things
and maybe get into UI ux design if you
love to help people maybe you want to
get into web security there's just so
many options and I think that I think
these days people just want to master
everything right away and it's just not
plausible so it's worth it to really
figure out what you want to specialize
in you know where do you want to give
your value with the with everything
that's happening with AI I think a lot
of the the real generalized stuff is
going to just be shipped out to Ai and I
think that people's value it's really
going to come in in certain areas
certain fields and roles so so just
something to think about hope you guys
enjoyed the video and I will see you
next time
