I’m the lead UI developer for Europe’s 2nd biggest fintech firm, up from #4 before I got there (many factors in okay tho). I’m reviewing quite a few CVs lately looking for Angular FE devs and honestly, an attitude like that won’t even get you in the first round.
This discussion started because I said many FE devs don’t develop with HTML in mind - it’s all divs and js. Or they rely heavily upon a framework to do that for them. I just passed on someone in the third round because I asked for a lightweight modal with esc exit, background and focus, and they wheeled out this whole system using prime ng and p-modals, where just using the <dialog> element would have worked.
To be fair, they also argued that using their method would have been faster and more consistent. That’s a person who relies on toolkits instead of understanding their existing tools has depth.
May I suggest, don’t be that guy. But in 3 years I retire to an island to never have these arguments again, so what do I care? Don’t listen to anyone else - be my guest.
Just to change the vibe.
Mozilla argues otherwise: developer.mozilla.org/…/Introduction_to_HTML
Most people define HTML based on the original acronym, but the current HTML5 iteration is much more than many devs realize.
At its heart, HTML is a language made up of elements, which can be applied to pieces of text to give them different meaning in a document (Is it a paragraph? Is it a bulleted list? Is it part of a table?), structure a document into logical sections (Does it have a header? Three columns of content? A navigation menu?), and embed content such as images and videos into a page. This module will introduce the first two of these and introduce fundamental concepts and syntax you need to know to understand HTML.
