To train as a web developer, it is essential to be comfortable with new technologies. The developer's mission is to design new web or mobile applications, and he must therefore master many computer languages, such as JavaScript, HTML, CSS and PHP. The range of languages ​​to master being very wide, more and more web developers are deciding to specialize according to the languages ​​they know how to use: some are experts in front-end development (the visible part of a site) while others concentrate their work on the back-end part (its hidden part). The main role of the developer is to analyze the technical needs of his client, to then enable him to create a site or application with an architecture that perfectly meets his expectations. He is responsible for programming and carrying out the necessary tests to check the correct functioning of the various functionalities. He also fixes any bugs and must show creativity to design original applications. The developer generally works under the direction of a project manager and must comply with specifications. The job of web developer is constantly evolving, and therefore requires constant monitoring of technological advances. This position requires you to be very responsive because you have to know how to quickly adapt to digital developments.
