Web development is the fastest-growing industry not only in Bangladesh but also around the
world. To grab the dream job in this sector, do you have the skills to stand out from the crowd?

You Need these following 10 skills for a developer-

1. Constantly Learning and Keeping up to date with

the industry

To become a great web developer, you should stay ahead of the curve. You have to
learn new technologies and programming languages and focus on the customer’s
needs and wants to keep them satisfied. You also have to keep yourself up to date
with the industry; thus a better idea is to follow blogs like Sitepoint, Smashing
Magazine, Hacker News etc. and of course our blog. To visit at least one conference
in the related field each year should be included in your goal.

2. Time Management
In web development projects, the deadlines are always just around the corner. So, to
stay efficient, it’s vital to manage your time as best as possible. Good developers
struggle with it, but some cannot maintain their time management skills. I’m sharing
some quick, actionable tips so that you can manage your time correctly- Make a to-
do list, Set reminders etc.

3. HTML/CSS
We know that HTML, CSS and JavaScript are the three fundamental pillars of Web
development. HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is a language that communicates
with the web browser, and it dictates the structure of each page on the WWW (World
Wide Web). It tells the browser how to interpret the data to form elements on a website.
We use it to add style on our site, including the layout and design. We also use CSS
(Cascading Style Sheet) to properly display in our website on different devices and
screen sizes. HTML5 and CSS3 are the latest standards that work in the most
common browsers out there.

4. JavaScript
When you are master in HTML and CSS, in the long run, you’ll want to learn JavaScript.
JavaScript is one of the higher-level programming languages, and it prepares websites more
interactive and functional. JavaScript will deliver you to create better experiences for users.
You can write special features directly onto your sites with JavaScript.

5. PHP
PHP (earlier called, Personal Home Page) is a server scripting language, and it is a
powerful and useful tool for making dynamic and interactive web pages. PHP is a
widely-used, free, and efficient alternative to competitors such as Microsoft’s ASP.

6. Responsive Design
Nowadays, many modern consumers use their mobile devices to conduct online
searches. Around 60% of online searches occur on mobile devices. So, websites need
to adapt to this trend. When websites aren’t consistent with mobile devices, web users
don’t display well; users go to a competitive site. That is why a web developer needs
to have responsive design knowledge.

7. GIT (Code Versioning)

Code versioning or version control helps you to track and control, but also revise any changes
to your programming. Just imagine that you make a few smaller changes to your code and
the whole web site stops working. The changes you made indeed had errors, the quickest and
better solution is to track back to the last time of your code that worked.

8. Debugging
You can fix any errors or abnormalities in your code by the Debugging process. On average,
a developer spends no less than 33 % of his time debugging.

9. Analytical Skills
Consumers behavior is always switching. So, your design, coding as well as development
skills will ever express for satisfying the ultimate customers. Therefore, every web developer
needs a strong understanding of consumers, especially web consumers, and their need and
want. If you can understand them on the whole, it will support you to create the best websites
that sell.

10. SEO
In modern-day marketing, Search engine optimization (SEO) is working as the driving
force. To get more traffic as well as increase ranking on Google, SEO is the most
effective way. Websites that don’t implement SEO won’t show up high enough on
search engine result pages. Page upload speed, keyword content, and domain
credibility are just some of the SEO skills that web developers should learn.
