What's better a UX Designer or Developer? I've got 5 minutes to answer this one and it's going to be tough...
UX stands for User Experience. This is how a user (who is a person like you and me) interacts and feels about a product that you make. Every company in the world wants people to use the product that they create and as a UX Designer, it’s your job to make something simple to use, solve a clear problem, and put the end-user at the center of the design process. Thinking about and understanding who is going to use your product is important.
An example of a product you might work on could be creating a new e-commerce website for a fashion brand or adding additional features to an existing mobile banking app.
Just as a side note I’ve personally worked on both of these and that’s why I mention them without actually thinking of any fictional products haha. That’s the great thing about being a designer, you can work across many different industries because the tasks remain the same.
A lot of people ask do you need to know code to be a UX designer. You may get a lot of different answers but from my experience, you don't. I know the basics of Html and CSS and that's it. As a junior designer, you don't need to know code as this is a different job. In every place, I've worked as part of the team are Front-end developers.
A Front-end developer will take your design and make it come to life. They will put it together in code for whatever type of product you are working on. If you are designing a website then this will be HTML, CSS, and javascript. If you are designing an app then this will be different. There may also be Java developers (which is an entirely different code language than javascript just to make things confusing) on your team if things are a little more complicated. Many tools I've built have multiple front-end and java developers working together over multiple months to create. This is why I believe you don't need to know code. It might be nice to know but it certainly isn't necessary and I know this first hand so don't worry.

I’ve been a front-end web developer for years, using mostly Wordpress, HTML, and CSS. I can’t JavaScript. It breaks my brain.
How did you get a job only knowing html and css? Genuine question because I looked into that before. I know basic html and css and have built multiple wordrpress websites but I didn't think it would be possible to get a job as a front end developer with this limited knowledge
@@andrewmc147 the first job I got was mostly Photoshop, HTML, and CSS. The JavaScript was plug-n-play, only used when we needed it. I basically designed what the site would look like and built it out on a platform called Webs Planet. The second job I had was all WordPress and almost zero coding. I have serious considered going into UI. I think that might be the best place for me (if the music thing doesn't work out 😁). My work experience has had almost zero JavaScript.
@@paulysguitarjournal hello, did you showed a portfolio to apply at both jobs? Or you just send a resume and they tested your skills in an interview?
@@FrancescaSVision Yes, all three: sent a resume with a portfolio, interviewed and was tested.
@@paulysguitarjournal i got a direct job offer without applying. Passed the cv and portfolio (not sure but I got interview)
They haven't replied in a week and I feel I've messed up the interview
Great summary thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
straight to the point. Finally a good video.
Thanks
Can I just be a UI Designer - not UX? It's so hard to find info on UI design. Like this course for example, it started as a UI course and after two videos it became a UX course. wtf lol
Na verdade isso é impossivel. Para você ser um excelente UI, é necessário dominar tbm UX (experiência do usuário). Como dizem, um complementa o outro...
MAS...
É totalmente possível você ser especialista em UI e trabalhar somente com isso, mas só vai conseguir essa oportunidade em empresas grandes. Pois as pequenas, você será apenas um Designer generalista (vai fazer todo os trabalhos de UX e UI)
Currently following full stack course, but when i reached JS i stuck, but still interesting. But more interesting this course was when i learn about UX/UI designing and Agile development. I want to give an idea abou website and when i am on the project i am enoying with css, figma ,html a lot more than API, function, console, promise in one word JS pff makes me cry :(, so dont know now follow the course untill the end or switch to UX/UI design now ...... Any adviceand comments are welcome. thanks
What did you choose?
Can you suggest any boot camps tailored for front-end development and, conversely, UX for designers

It seems like development is more important than design?
Not really they are but intertwined and it depends on the company
Try to drink some water before recording the video and relax, no one is chasing u from behind :)
