part 3: how to become a web developer?

how to become a web developer In the previous section, we discussed some of the concepts of web hosting and CSS. In today's part, we will get acquainted with the framework and the library.

What is the framework?

The framework is a set of codes written to make it easier for developers. In which we write the codes. The framework provides a platform on which we do not have to worry about small things when writing code.                                                                   

part 3 : how to become web developer ?

All frameworks take care of this. The framework is designed to be easy for web developers. When working within a framework, we don't have to focus on the little things and focus only on high-level functionalities.

This makes the platform productive and efficient for developers For example, when you build a house, your house is designed by design engineers.

They have pre-made designs. Or they can give you a new design. So your focus is only on building a house.

Your only focus is on what to add. So you no need to worry about design.

CSS framework

Bootstrap, foundation, balm, UI kit, semantic UI are some examples. In this section, we will talk in detail about the Bootstrap and Foundation CSS Framework. In the next section, we will discuss the JavaScript framework. 

What is a library?

A library is a set of codes. Which provides a lot of functionality. Libraries have all kinds of functions written in them.

This makes it easier for web developers to reuse. The library saves time for web developers to write functions.

In other words, when you build a house, remember that there is a furniture store in front of you. From where you can use the goods you need at the right time.

That doesn't mean you have to order everything. You can use artificial products in the array. We can see that as a metaphor with the library.

It costs you a lot of money and time if you let the goods be ordered. Which is solved by the library.

Library examples

Jacques, Jacques Mobile, Jacques UI, React JS, etc. are some examples of this.

Bootstrap

Bootstrap was first started by Twitter. It is based on the Mobile First concept. It provides responsive designs. As a result, the webpages we create are distributed on all devices.

There is no need to work extra hard for device responsiveness while using it.

By the time this article is ready, the latest version of Bootstrap is Four. Works on the Bootstrap grid concept. Which helps to divide our webpages into rows and columns.

Benefits of Bootstrap

  • It is supported by Twitter. Due to which its pathway maybe longer. That's why you can rely on Bootstrap if a project is being developed.
  • With Bootstrap, you can prototype your project as quickly as possible. This saves you developing time and will be made easier by the CSS classes provided to you.
  • As its community is large on the Internet, we can get immediate support. It's normal to have problems when you use any framework. If such a problem arises, if the community is large, support can be easily found.
  • It contains many components that have already been created. Which makes it much easier for you to reuse and do web development. For example navigation bar alert box button, model, etc.

The disadvantages of bootstrap

  • If you look at Bootstrap projects, the user interfaces used in them look almost the same.
  •  If you need to modify your own bootstrap, it can be very difficult.

Foundation

The Framework Foundation also provides us with HTML templates and CSS UIs. Foundations are also becoming increasingly popular nowadays.

It also has its own advantages and disadvantages. By the time this article is ready, the latest version of the Foundation is Six.

Benefits of the Foundation

  • The Foundation gives all control to developers. So that the web developer can modify it.
  • It provides everything from firm validation. It may not be suitable for small webpages. But if you are doing a big project, it can be a gift.
  • Just like Bootstrap is viewed by Twitter, it is viewed by a foundation called Zerb. As a result, it is believed that its future will be long-term.

Disadvantages of the foundation

  • Its community is relatively small. As a result, if you have a stack of projects using foundation, you may not be able to get immediate support.
  •  It offers many options. This can lead to dilemmas for developers to choose the right option.
  • Foundation is not as easy to learn as Bootstrap. So even a person who knows bootstrap can find it difficult to do foundation.

So which framework to choose?

If any company has to choose a framework, we can choose according to the needs of the company. But being a beginner here, we need to know what kind of frameworks are available in the market. Since Bootstrap is popular and easy to learn, we need to learn Bootstrap first.
