Web front-end engineer is the current IT industry practitioners population is relatively large positions, driven by mobile Internet, Web front-end engineer jobs task boundaries are constantly expanding, gradually covering the mobile terminal, at the same time promote cloud computing next, part of the Web front-end engineers also need to do some back-end development tasks, so the current front-end development, also known as "big front-end."
Early Web front-end engineers working pressure is still relatively large, on the one hand the speed of the front end of the iteration itself is relatively fast, so the workload of developers is relatively large, the other front-end development technology update speed is also faster, which leads to a lot of front-end development engineers study pressure is relatively large. Driven by various factors, Web front-end developer career life cycle is relatively short existence of circumstances. Of course, as to be able to engage in what age, greater decision-making power remains in the hands of programmers, there are still a lot after 80 engaged in front-end development work.
From the point of view of the prospects for the development front-end development, front-end programmers future career life cycle will gradually be extended, for the following reasons:
First: front-end development platform. At present front-end development platform is to develop in the direction, in fact, as cloud computing and big data platforms have mature platform, front-end development platform is also increasingly migrating to the direction, which reduces the workload of front-end programmers to some extent, At present, many platform automatically generates a presentation page, front-end programmers can modify according to their needs. With the landing PaaS application-related services, front-end development can be used to develop more modular way, which will reduce the work pressure programmers to some extent.
Second: intelligent front-end development. With the constant introduction of artificial intelligence products, the degree of intelligent front-end development is increasing, and with the continuous development of artificial intelligence, the future of front-end programmer would be liberated from the complex iterative tasks, which to some extend the life cycle of professional front-end developer extent.
Third: front-end development of the whole stack. Front-end development of the whole stack is a relatively clear trend, with the current development of big data technology, more development team began to use "parallel iterative" development mode, this area has led to miniaturization of the development team, and the other also encourage programmers to take on more development tasks, thus promoting the programmer to the whole of the stack.
