Learn Web Development to Advance Your Career

Web development is the work that happens behind the scenes to make a website perform well, look beautiful, and provide a seamless user experience. Web Development is the backbone of the things we interact with every day from social media to news, online shopping to banking. Learning web development sets you up for a variety of careers from the big-picture Full Stack Developer to the niche Ruby Developer.

  • Overview
  • Career Options

Websites are built from multiple different technologies which are usually referred to as a stack. A stack is essentially the layers of technology that make up a website or web application. Developers can choose to specialize in one part of the stack or the whole thing. There are special roles for developers who work on the front end of a website, the part that users interact with, or the back end, the behind the scenes technology that powers the website.

Developers with a broad focus on the full stack can find jobs as Full Stack Developer, Software Engineer, Web Developer, or the more niche .NET Developer. This versatile path into web development also sets developers up for future roles as Software Project Manager or Product Manager. Product Managers and Project Managers within software must be familiar with every aspect of the tech stack and the best practices for each phase of development.

Those specializing in the front end can look for roles like Front End Developer, JavaScript Developer, or Web Designer. These roles focus on designing the front end of the website, building the user interface and the look and feel of the website, or making it dynamic and interactive.

Developers who work on the back end of a website will find roles like Back End Developer or positions that specialize in a specific programming language such as Python Developer or Ruby Developer.

Web Development Career Options

Here are a few career paths for which you’ll likely need Web Development 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.
