What is front end software development?

Front end software development involves coding the user-facing aspects of a website or software program. Your responsibilities include using a variety of tools or IDEs (integrated development environments) to write or edit CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), and Javascript code. As a front end software developer, your job is to use your skills to address the look, feel, and overall user experience of an application, more so than the speed, efficiency, or resilience of the backend of the application.
