FrontEnd Web Development-
Core Front-End Skills
HTML5, CSS3 — Semantic HTML, Flexbox, Grid, Animations, Responsive design
JavaScript (ES6+) — Deep understanding (hoisting, closures, async/await, promises, event loop)
(Some companies ask coding qs only on javascript)
TypeScript — Almost mandatory at 30LPA+ level
Modern Front-End Frameworks / Libraries
React.js (Highly preferred) — Hooks, Context API, Redux Toolkit, Suspense, Error Boundaries
Next.js — SSR, SSG, API routes, Incremental Static Regeneration
(Optional but good) Vue.js / Nuxt.js or Svelte — In case you want broader exposure
Styling and UI Libraries
TailwindCSS and Bootstrap
Styled Components / Emotion
Component Libraries — Material UI, Ant Design, shadcn/ui (popular with Next.js)
Testing
Jest + React Testing Library
(Optional) Cypress / Playwright — For end-to-end testing
Tooling & Build Systems
Vite, Webpack, Babel (basic understanding)
ESLint + Prettier (Code quality and consistency)
Version Control and CI/CD
Git (Advanced usage) — Rebasing, cherry-pick, con ict resolution
GitHub Actions / Vercel CI/CD — Automate deployments
API Handling
REST API — CRUD, Status Codes, Pagination, Caching
GraphQL — Queries, Mutations, Apollo Client
Advanced Concepts
fl
Web Performance Optimization — Lazy loading, Code splitting, Caching strategies
Accessibility (a11y) — ARIA, keyboard navigation, screen readers
Web Security — XSS, CSRF, CORS, Content Security Policy
Browser Internals — Rendering pipeline, Critical rendering path
Cloud & Deployment
Vercel / Netlify / AWS Amplify — For front-end hosting
(Optional but useful) AWS S3 + CloudFront — For enterprise-level deployment
Soft but Mandatory
System Design (Front-End) — Component-driven architecture, Micro-frontends
DSA (Data Structures & Algorithms) — For clearing coding rounds (LeetCode Easy-Medium)
Portfolio + Projects
End-to-end projects with:
• SSR/SSG Next.js + Tailwind + GraphQL
• Full-stack project (Next.js + Node.js + PostgreSQL OR Firebase)
• Scalable component library (like shadcn/ui clone)
Good GitHub + Deployed Portfolio + Case Studies
Optional (Gives Edge)
WebSockets — Real-time apps
Service Workers & PWA — Of ine-ready apps
Animations — Framer Motion
