With the evolution of new processors, logic boards, and the need for more performance, new programming languages remain one of tech's most important literacies, impacting countless professional fields in an increasingly digital world. Many developers stop using a functional style in their current languages of choice. With this, the demand for front-end programming languages is increasing. Front-end development is the part of web development that develops and creates the website's frontend elements or features immediately visible and available to the end-user or client. A frontend developer, in essence, is responsible for everything you see, including styling, images, text, alignment, navigation, colors, and so on, and strives to make the user experience as frictionless as possible. This article lists the top 10 front-end programming languages for developers to learn in 2023.
The most extensively used Frontend Language is HTML, a markup language. HyperText Markup Language is the abbreviation for HyperText Markup Language. It's a programming language used to make websites and web apps.
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a language that's used to style the text, color, buttons, and tables of a website plus structure how its pages are laid out. CSS allows for content and formatting to remain separate so webpages can adapt to different types of devices of various sizes. Some of the most frequently used CSS frameworks are Twitter Bootstrap, Tailwind CSS, Bulma, Foundation, Skeleton, UI Kit, Pure, Semantic UI, and Materialize.
Swift was developed by Apple in 2014, for frontend development across their own OS platforms, i.e., iOS, tvOS, macOS, watchOS, and iPadOS. While it is not the most technologically sophisticated of the bunch, like Apple's overall catalog of products, it provides an optimized and effective platform for front-end development.
JavaScript is used to further immerse visitors into a website. Its features include adding functionality, images, videos, and overall layers of interactivity to a website. These can be done by clicking a button, scrolling down, or hovering over an element with your mouse, the sky is the limit!
React is a programming language developed by Facebook for the creation of fast and cutting-edge web user interfaces. The programming language React is suitable for the creation of visual user interfaces and data rendering for browsers. Front-end web development is easy with React.
Angular is a front-end JavaScript framework based on TypeScript. It was developed by Google to efficiently create Single Page Applications (SPAs). Single-page applications are web apps that convey information and facilitate user interaction without having to load additional pages. More acutely, SPAs can change the user interface in response to user input without opening a new, separate page.
TypeScript is a programming language and a superset of JavaScript. This means that any code that works in JavaScript is also valid and functional in TypeScript. Essentially, it's just JavaScript, with static typing. The TypeScript compiler does nothing but converts all the TypeScript code into JavaScript. The resulting JavaScript code can be run in any browser.
Developed by Evan You, an ex-Google Employee, Vue is also an open-source, JavaScript framework. It is used to develop user interfaces and single-page applications. Just like React, Vue uses virtual DOM as an adopted concept of React. Vue updates any altered HTML and does not update the entire tree. This ensures faster and bug-free performance.
Another JavaScript library, jQuery, is extremely lightweight and centered around the premise of adding more functionality with less code. JavaScript developers often learn jQuery early on in their web development careers because jQuery is a valuable tool for writing short-hand JS front-end code, and other JS libraries have jQuery dependencies.
Elm is a frontend programming language that is used to create browser-based User Interfaces. It is a functional language that is highly suitable for front-end development processes. The focus of Elm is to provide a simple and quality tool to create websites.
