- We are happy to announce our next book - this time aimed at shaping the next generation of awesome, unicorn developers. What does it mean?
Well, a unicorn front-end developer, is a developer that goes beyond the UI coding and understands design, user experience, business logic and more.
We have a magic formula that have worked great with us, so now we want to share it with the world :) After all, we are going to be using the products you build, so we want them to be awesome!!
You can sign up now at www.frontendun...
Is it going to be web development only? Waiting for the release
Hi! Most of the book will be pretty technology-agnostic - covering things like "learning how to learn", "how to grow your skillsets" and more. So we're not focusing on any particular technology, there will be both web and mobile development tips throughout the chapters :)
Is the book the book ready still, also the link is broken...
We released it for free eventually
Just subbed to the new book - great idea!
thanks, our devs have a lot to share 😎
I'm looking forward this book. But I would like to add a comment to your motivation for writing this. It's not always a frontend developers fault that the end result looks bad and is not matching designs. Very often design details on mockups are insufficient. Developer needs to do a double job: interpret and understand designers intention, and implement it using code. There is a lack of extra information like: what are relations between elements, what should be aligned, how things should be anchored, what should scale and what not. Those are handfull informations for making pages look good on intermediate screen resolutions. As a frontend dev I even had cases where headers stylings were not coherent across pages mockups. I think designers should also have some basic understanding of development (ie. CSS), it's limitations and work with more empathy towards frontend devs. Think about designs in terms of design system, not only creating pretty image.
That's 100% right! We too believe designers should understand CSS (at least) so they can better communicate what they do. And of course there are sloppy designers, so it's not always the developers fault, but from our experience it's likely 60/40 still. The goal of our first book was to make designers look at the details closer and be better, this book will (among other things) be a developer-friendly approach to making awesome things (even without a designer :) All the best!
When your startup book is comming .
Hi, I had a small break with that, but most of the book is done - need about 3 more weeks of writing to complete it. Hopefully mid to late May.
I'm going to make this required reading for devs I work with haha
Definitely! We are releasing next week! :)
Book has 404 page, i think i will never find it
Malew, I don't like this term. but I guess that I have potential to be an unicorn. at the moment I'm a poney XD. I have high development skills and I like to ask questions, the why of the things. see things broadly. in another words. my skill/interests range goes from UX / UI to Front. and even Fullstack if you give me some time. I'm not the best like an specialist, but I can integrate different skills so the solution is consistent, like you described.
I actually would love to be that guy. but. I don't know how to position myself as this type of professional. without looking like a duck
