Learn JavaScript to Advance Your Career

Learning JavaScript will set you up for jobs in web development and software development. Developers focus on building websites or software and use JavaScript to make the website functional and interactive. This in-demand and beginner-friendly language also offers frameworks and libraries which make JavaScript more versatile and efficient.

  • Overview
  • Career Options

JavaScript is the most commonly used programming language in the world. It’s a valuable tool for Web Developers and Software Engineers alike. JavaScript on its own won’t get you a job, but it’s the best place to start a career in web or software development. To become a Web Developer or Software Engineer, combine JavaScript with web development best practices, version control (Git), and JavaScript libraries and frameworks.

JavaScript libraries and frameworks are prewritten collections of code that developers can adapt to their own projects. These collections of code make using JavaScript more efficient and more secure. Along with APIs, frameworks, and libraries, JavaScript can handle just about every aspect of web development from front end to back end.

Web Developers have a handful of roles that they can choose from. They can specialize in the front end, the part of the website that the client interacts with, as a Front End Developer. A Back End Developer also uses JavaScript and focuses on building behind the scenes features that power the website or application. For a career with more variety, you can pursue a Full Stack Developer role that builds both the back end and the front end of a website.

There are even niche jobs such as JavaScript Developer that hone in on working primarily with JavaScript. If you know you mostly want to work with just JavaScript or you’re looking for a way to break into tech, this could be the right career move for you! Even JavaScript developers need to know other skills like web development best practices and Git, though.

JavaScript Career Options

Here are a few career paths for which you’ll likely need JavaScript skills in order to succeed. We also include additional info about their average salaries, their day-to-day responsibilities, and a link to learn more about each career.

    Web developers build webpages using coding languages such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. They program functionality and identify/troubleshoot errors in code. Web developers can work on front-end development (the part of the website you see in a web browser), or on back-end development (the logic and database functionality that runs on the web server). Others work as full-stack developers, providing end-to-end (front to back) expertise.
